I can't stand the sound of a broom with hard bristles sweeping, especially a push broom. It's like finger nails on a chalk board to me and have to use brooms with soft bristles.
I love the sound of ice cubes cracking and the clip clop of horses walking in the street.

I really like The Rock, but can't think of a single movie of his I really like.

Perfume so strong that it takes my breath away.
People that break line.
Cowboys that don't tip their hat to a pretty girl, yet expect the girl to make them breakfast the next morning.

Can't remember the name of his movie and I didn't watch the whole movie, but it was educational. He was going to urinate in a pool of water and was warned not to do it because a "bug of some sort" would swim up his stream of urine into his "you know what" and expand thorn-like thingys resulting in getting painfully stuck in his "you know what."
I searched that on youtube and watched a vid of doctor streaming water from a water hose into a bucket with a few of the nasty lil devils. The lil devils actually did the deed as described.
The reason I research it was because I was told the same thing when visitng a water fall pond on the island Pohnpei, Caroline Islands.
I know.. too much information.

Beware of pseudo intellectual contrarians. They're all over the Web and their mission in life is to be contrarian. Not because they seek alternative views, but because disagreeing is the only way they can feel smarter than the others. After all, if they agree with something others are saying they can't be smarter (in their view).

Life was better when when there were animal TV stars like Lassie, Gentle Ben, Flipper and even Dennis the Menace had a pet elephant Maya.
There were even good supporting animal characters like Arnold the Pig and Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion.

I always wondered why hot air balloons weren't invented sooner? The basic materaials needed have been around forever. The Greeks (and many others) had to know hot air rose just by seeing the embers of a fire float up. They would have been a great advantage for defense and war.

But were they advanced enough to know that the whole thing would not go up in flames? It probably would have taken quite a few tests and lost lives to actually get the thing up there.
I imagine they did think about it though. I'm not an evolutionist but a lot of this stuff evolves out of people coming to grips on how to do it without losing everything on the trials.
They probably had mathmatical estimates by the time they tried to send the first one up. On another note maybe unrelated since this is suppposed to be about weird thoughts. I never did get
over seeing the hindenburg crash a burn. I hate fires.

Well. I don't agree with you at all.

I really liked The Game Plan. Probably one you wouldn't, though.

It's helpful how often I forget something I'd doing on the computer and hit "paste" and whatever I paste reminds me of what I was doing. I just need to remember to paste when I forget.

You know when you pretend to throw a ball to fake out a dog? I bet the dog feels the same way I do when I bite into a cookie expecting chocolate chip but getting oatmeal raisin instead...and I really had my heart set on chocolate chip.

True: It's against the law to take your pack mule or horse to any floor of a building above the ground floor in Cripple Creek Colorado.

True: In some townships of Germany it is against the law to remove horse poo from the steets.
Note: Horse poo is a popular rose flower fertilizer and sometimes horses will escape their pastures and stroll down streets. Township workers tidy up and resell the valued fertilizer.

Me thinks it has a lot to do with PG-13 movie rating system.
Why are Webinars confused with Winebars?

Mel Blanc is generally acknowledged as having the most acting credits all time for TV and movies. I think he has about 1000 total TV and movie credits.

Today, I learned that Einstein never wore socks. He once was asked why ne never wore socks. He answerd the question with an explanation and a question... socks eventually become worn out with holes, so why wear socks?
Makes me ponder why geniuses think the way they do.

Seems to me one could argue the same about pants.

Does anyone else associate color in the task bar in WINDOZE? Firefox has an orange icon so when I switch programs I seem to have to click on every other orange icon until I get to Firefox. Chrome is red, yellow green and blue and so is Spartan Clipboard so I get them confused too. Regardless of the shape or design, it's the colors of the icons that I associate with programs.

No, not me. It is possible to create your own browser tabs in the FireFox taskbar and display them in the Windows taskbar. I taught a small group of AT&T employees how to do it and they went to support centers to train those employees. Just right-click the FireFox taskbar and follow the leads.
On a side note, there is a FireFox addon that allows you to change the color of the tabs you create. Not what you want, but it is a work-around. Howevr, I've never use the addons myself.
When I pin browser tabs, my local html files, I use home made icons. Most days I use 7 tabs, but I have 16 to date that I rotate through depending on the projects I'm working on and the time of day.

Vanilla ice cream is the king of desserts. It goes with any flavor of cake or pie. You can put candy and cookies in it, have fruit sundaes, make a root beer float or milk shake. I'm not saying it's the best, only the most versatile.

I have a friend who once worked in an ice cream factory. He says they throw all the junk in chocolate. He won't go near it.

How come electric windows are only in cars? I think it would be great to have electric windows that open and close in homes as well and even better if they had remote control.

That's a brilliant idea, but would you need a different remote for each window?

I'm thinking Bill Gates has electric windows in his home. The story I read about it is very futuristic. A person's favorite music that follows him through the house, lights that strengthen and soften at one's approach.
