Stuff you didn’t even know you should wonder about.
(It pains me to end that sub-head with a preposition. I know it should be “Stuff about which you didn’t even know you should wonder,” but I couldn’t quite bring myself to be pedantically correct about a sub-head beginning with the word “Stuff.” Kindly overlook it, please.)
Now, where were we?
Oh, yes. Stuff you didn’t know you should wonder about.
I found this website.
It’s full of stuff that fascinates me. Stuff about which I never even thought to wonder.
Why is the glass in airport control towers slanted?
Why have doctors switched from white scrubs to green?
What makes some meat white meat and some meat dark meat?
What makes an Etch-a-Sketch work? (Actually, I think I had figured this out myself at one point—minus the technical details.)
The site is also full of stuff about which I have wondered from time to time.
Why cats hate car rides, for example.
No one who was on that car trip when I helped move my sister from Connecticut to Michigan could help wondering about that. That journey is one of those stories best saved for when I write my screenplay about a road trip—except a) no one would believe it and b) nobody could train a cat to behave that way on camera.
We will draw a veil over that trip except to say that I have been held prisoner by cats in a car, in a hotel room, and in an apartment, and someday, there will be a reckoning.
Anyway, all that is kind of beside the point of this post which is just to introduce you to yet another time-wasting website and/or help to prepare you for your next audition for Jeopardy!
It’s up to you what you do with that info. Proceed with caution.
