Miscellaneous Thoughts

Why are people so crazy about TV shows about doctors? ER, Grey's Anatomy, House, Scrubs (not quite as popular), isn't there another one I'm missing? Do we all secretly want to be doctors? Or do we think that doctors just have really interesting lives? I think it's the day-to-day excitement that (we imagine) doctors have. Is it really exciting to be a doctor? I wonder how similar real doctoring is to what we see on TV. Which show do you think is closest to reality? If any doctors are reading this (HAH!) please leave a comment with your thoughts.

How about a toothbrush that you can stick on your tongue and then brush your teeth with no hands? Brilliant or stupid? It would be useful maybe for people with no arms.

I was in the grocery store the other day looking for toilet paper. I figured it was in one of the last aisles somewhere. I saw some diapers and thought, oh it must be in this aisle. That would make sense wouldn't it? Of course things can't possibly be that simple. It was several aisles away with the paper towels. Now, though paper towels and toilet paper both come on rolls in big plastic packages, they are very different in terms of function. Well, okay, both used for cleaning crap. But would you not agree that the toilet paper belongs next to the diapers and not the paper towels? I think things in the store should be organized according to where they belong in the house. Bathroom/poopy stuff should all go together.

Words that I hear people overusing: random, literally, like.

One saying that I really don't like is, "There's a first time for everything." It's just a plain lie. There is not a first time for everything. There was not a first time that George Washington was eaten by a bear, nor will there ever be (he died of pneumonia). Extreme example? Maybe. But I needed to use something that couldn't be debated. Actually, you should check out the Wikipedia for George Washington. It's pretty interesting: "Washington's teeth were not made out of wood, as was once commonly believed. They were made out of teeth from different kinds of animals, specifically elk, hippopotamus, and human.[44] One set of his false teeth weighed almost four ounces (110 g) and were made out of lead." How awesome would it be to have hippopotamus teeth? Well, Granddad, I know what you're getting for your birthday.

So is that a picture of a mother hippo and her baby or is it a normal hippo and a midget hippo? Is there a way to tell the difference? I couldn't find anything about it on Wikipedia.
