When you are bored just think about a few things that don’t make sense … like:
- If poison expires, it is more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?
- Which letter is silent in the word “Scent,” the S or the C?
- Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?
- Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn’t it be called double V?
- Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and it just takes 75-100 years to fully work.
- Every time you clean something, you make something else dirty.
- The word “swims” upside-down is still “swims”
- 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars.
Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses. - If you replace “W” with “T”in “What, Where and When”, you get the answer to each of them.
Four great confusions still unresolved:
- At a movie theatre, which arm rest is yours?
