What time did we go to bed before the invention of electricity to allow for large scale lighting? Why did we evolve to need to wear clothes? Why culturally, women have longer hair than men? Why electricity can allow us to communicate on this forum? Why our brains construct mental blocks? Why our universe is so vast, but we are just a grain of sand? Things like the above keep me up.
Genesis 2:6(E)When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they (F)knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings. 8They heard the sound of (G)the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, (H)and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "(I)Where are you?" 10He said, "(J)I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself." 11And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
Hey, I started a Boomerang thread last year and got 0 replies. It's a Saturday morning ritual for me. They need to start getting some more toons though.
Physically, we don't have to. We only have to wear clothes where the climate dictates it. The rest is all psychological.
Why do I wake up at 7am every morning, even the ones after I get back from the clubs at 4am? Why can't I eat mushrooms but I can eat blue cheese? Why cant I get remotely interested in any reality TV show, yet I get completely engrossed in sports, which is essentially another form of reality TV? Why do most sequels to great novels and movies suck so bad? Why does my head hair fall out yet my other hair is doing just fine? Why cant I get the Trogdor the Burninator song out of my head? Why do my toes curl in instead of out during happy endings?
Because your biological clock is set for 7am. Mine's set for 4am. You can train yourself not to wake up at that time, but it's gonna take some work. Because you're continuing an idea or thought process that's no longer original. Therefore somewhere along the way, nothing can be as good as the original because something's lost - be it the novelty, the mindset, the mental and emotional comprehension, or the director (in the movies case). Essentially, you can't repeat it perfectly - but, as always, there are exceptions to the rule Because it's not physically possible. If it were, you're either a freak of nature, double jointed, or your toes are on backwards. Caffeine is a natural laxative - that's why ppl need to poop after consuming enough caffeine.
Yeah - I thought everyone in the whole world knew this. Caffiene is a diuretic. It flushes your system. It's intended to do this. Once the substance has been flushed out of your system, you become dehydrated and want more coffee/soda. Throw in the physically addictive qualities of caffiene and you have a pretty sneaky product.
There was an experiment years ago where the put this fellow in a cave so he had no way of keeping track of time (no clocks/no way of seeing the sun). I think it was done by Nasa, but anyways after some time passed he started staying awake for nearly two days at a time ~ as I recall he would only sleep about 10 hours. He had no idea how long he was staying awake until after the experiment was finished.
Whats the point of life? To get an education? To marry some broad? To make some kids? Whats the point? All will be forgotten in 100 years. Who cares what you do today, as no one will remember the dayafter. Does typing this justify my existence? Or just validate my nonexistence?
Why is that in baseball lefty pitchers are so highly valued? The batter is usually favored hitting against an opposite handed pitcher, so a righty has a better chance against a lefty pitcher (sees the ball better coming from the hand), and most people in the world (and in baseball) are right handed...so why wouldn't lefties traditionally do worse? Never made any sense to me. I guess I understand the lefty "specialist"...but never understood the premium placed on left handed starting pitchers.
