    all very interesting facts!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,446 ✭✭✭Havelock


    Hum, I ponder. I wonder why?

    Who was the first person to look at snail and contemplated eating one?

    Same with cod's liver, bull testicals and monkey brains.

    Who was the first, risk taking man to but his willy in a woman's mouth? And why? Manual castration?

    Who thought of inhaleing burning plant ash as a past time?

    Felching, if you don't know what it is, you don't want to, but who and why?

    stop guys please, there is so many of these questions in life.

    i ponder enough in life without having more to think about it.

    I wonder who thought hmm "I wonder what would happen if i mixed water and sand". (It's glass).

    How cumz they call it a winter wonder land when its just snow and ice all around and your freezing your balls off?

    How cumz two wrongs dont make a right no matter how hard I try?

    How cumz women dont realise that baldness is sexy?

    How cumz people say say that TV is a dull and stupefing waste of time with no real benifit to humanity when there is so much fine entertainment on 24 hours a day?

    Does this mean doing something in the style of Chevy Chase in the thoroughly enjoyable eighties films Fletch and Fletch Lives?
    Maybe it's more to do with solving mysteries in a busy-body manner like Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote

    By the way, did you ever hear of elephant felching? Personally, I think this kind of "xtreme-felching" (I refuse to provide a link to this kind of depravity) is taking it just one step too far. I don't know why you don't hear the various societies for the protection of cruelty to (or ethical treatment of) animals being more vocal in speaking out against this practice.

    About the whimsical musings or observations - well, it is possible to explain them all quite rationally and sensibly really - but that's not the point is it? They're just meant to be humourous.

    Here's one of my own that really bugs the hell out of me:
    Why do washing machines still have large dials that I must twist around and around to select a washing program? Why the hell do these dials still have to make a sound like I'm shaking some maracas? Why when I go past the program number I want by a fricking millimeter do I have to rotate the dial all the way around again to get back to where I want to be? It's such a totally crap interface!
    I want to be able to pre-program a list of personally designed washing cycles and be able to save them under a name, and be able to choose them again from a touch-screen LCD panel. I want the machine to come with the usual pre-programmed cycles like "whites" and "non-fast coloureds". I want to be able to select one of these from a menu in the LCD panel. It should then display the properties of the wash - temp/spin speed/wash time/water used and I hit "ok" to proceed if I want, or I can adjust these properties and then proceed with the wash. I would like to see a countdown displaying time remaining until completion of the wash.
    I would also like there to be a manual-override code that I can enter that will allow me to open the door of MY fricking washing mashine when I bloody want!
    Now riddle me this, batmen - why don't washing machines come like that? Remember we are living in the 21st century. We all imagined that we would be taking day-trips to the moon by now. We're not, but that's no reason to be using the same interface that was used back in the 1950s. I think that the reason washing machine manufactuers won't change the design is because even in our wonderful "post-modern", emancipated society, women still do most of the laundry. If they made using a washing machine as "complicated" as using a VCR, no laundry would ever get done, right?

    My girlfriends Ma has a washing machine like you describe. No LCD panel. Still a dial, but it turns clockwise and anti-clockwise, doesn't clack around like maracas and has a digital readout of time remaining.

    Thought you might like to know :)

    You don't inhale the ash, you inhale the smoke. And I would have thought the evolution of the blow job was a natural progression from basic copulation. No risk involved unless you're being blown by a woolly mammoth.
