Chili Mango

Okay this makes for a strange combination; I saw this package at the Dollar Tree and just HAD to try it. I like mangoes; I like hot peppers; why not try them together? I'll tell you why. The flavor completely bamboozles the tastebuds. I neither liked it or disliked it, it was just wierd and I'm not gonna have it again anytime soon. Would make for a great trick to play on people, though, offering them some "candy"....

To sciss or not to sciss

Scissors are amazing tools. They have been around for so long and been improved so much. They used to be entirely metal and not very ergonomic when I was in school. And I had pointy ones then, not safety scissors, and nobody worried about me running around with them. I stabbed myself and learned from it, the end. Nowadays, I keep scissors in almost every room in the house. My desk scissors are practically sacred; I panic if they go missing. Don't want them to be used to cut, say, a paper clip or something. I use the kitchen scissors to quickly chop up salad mix into bite size pieces. The bathroom scissors are excellent for haircuts done at home. I have scissors on my dresser, for sudden crafting urges; scissors on my pocket knife, and scissors on my keychain. Thank you, whoever invented scissors. (Now I need to look that up and find out who that is).

Starting Over

I haven't done anything on this blog in YEARS. I've decided to give it a complete overhaul and start using it again, rather than starting a brand new one. Guess I'm being random again. :D

Hours?

In the United States, why do some people measure driving distance by time? As in, that place is an hour away?
>At what speed?
>In what kind of traffic?
There is a reason that cars don't have an hours per gallon rating.

In the United States, why is gasoline called gas?
>There are hundreds of gasses on Earth
>Gasoline is not a gas; it is a liquid

In Europe, why is gasoline called petrol?
>There are thousands of petroleum products on Earth

People, don't be lazy and save yourself saying a couple of extra letters. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

As the title implies, calculatedly random thoughts:

• All 102 passengers of the Mayflower had to spend the voyage in the cargo hold.
• The 1st recorded fire insurance was issued in Germany in 1591
• Kittens, wolves, rabbits, cheetahs, hedgehogs, and pandas are all born blind.

My new favorite quote:
"Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes. There's too much fraternizing with the enemy." - Henry Kissinger

Insanity reigns in the disillusioned mind coexisting with inferior minds in a chaotic world.

That said, Men actually ARE driving Women crazy.
