Did you ever wonder...?

Did you ever wonder...:

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

I never open my mouth when applying mascara. That is a myth!

"Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?"
How can you tell?

@ Porcelina ~ I do sometimes. And when I don't, I make other funny faces.

@ Darko ~ I am telling you, that is a fact!

By any chance did you download this list from somewhere? I seem to remember reading this exact list in the same order a few years ago.

I got it in an email, Moe, but I deleted some of them, so it's only the ones I like that's here.

I do wonder about these things! Except the mascara - I can put it on with a normal face

. I like these funny things

Real lemon dishwashing liquid?

Have a great Friday

Me too, Kimmie, me too!

I envy that you can put on mascara with a normal face!

Thank you Rose, you too!

And yes, they even add real lemon to toilet cleaning fluid as well!

Kimmie # 25. April 2008, 08:31

Well, I say normal, but I've gotta make my eyes a little wider

. It is strange that they add real lemon to cleaning products, and make lemon juice with artificial flavourings... Perhaps it's the acidity of lemon that helps with cleaning, but that still doesn't explain about lemon juice.

I know about the lethal injection one. If you survive it so many times they commute your sentence to life in prison.

Cois # 25. April 2008, 10:36

There's survivors?

The Dark Furie # 25. April 2008, 10:42

I don't think this is an urban legend, I'll check in a mo anyway. Apparantly some guy survived three times so they decided death didn't want him and changed the sentence to life without parole.

The Dark Furie # 25. April 2008, 10:47

Hmmm, I saw that on a documentary a while back, but it seems to be a load of crap. They just keep injecting survivors until they die.

Ah, found it. It was Willie Francis surviving the electric chair. Despite an appeal he was later executed anyway. Some dozy bint told him he'd won his appeal, then the adverts came on and I had to go to work. Turns out he hadn't won after all...
