Silly? I Think Not!

My brain is tired of trying to solve big political, geo-political, environmental, and social problems.  So, today I invite you to join me in contemplating questions that some might think trivial–yea, even silly.  But don’t all questions deserve at least attempted answers?

[Thanks to Linda Younts for these.]

 

Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

What if my dog only brings back my ball because he thinks I like throwing it?

If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

Which letter is silent in the word “Scent,” the S or the C?

Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn’t it be called double V?

If 2/2/22 falls on a Tuesday, can we just call it “2’s Day”?

Friday Fun: What Does YOUR State Want to Know?

When I heard that Google had compiled a list of most-Googled questions for each state, I had to check it out.  My state (California) was beaten-out by Texas on the largest variety of questions–28 to 33.  And they include some pretty strange queries.  Alaska, Kansas, Minnesota, and Wyoming seem to have the least curious people, with only one question per state.

Overall, people searched Google for a whole bunch of stuff I’d never think to ask about.

Just for fun, find out what inquiring minds want to know in your state by going to http://blog.estately.com/2016/05/you-wont-believe-the-questions-each-state-googles-more-than-any-other-state.

Warm Up With These 12 Common Climate Questions

Every discussion or argument about climate change pretty much revolves around the same issues. The Climate Reality Project boils it down to a dozen questions most often asked by people who don’t believe that climate change is here. Don’t be put off by the title; just go there and see if you’ve heard (or asked) any and see what the answers are.

Go to “The 12 Questions Every Climate Activist Hears and What to Say.” Personally, I’m a “believer,” and I still learned a lot from this article.
