Random thoughts (part 4)

Here are a few more random unconnected thoughts on random unconnected subjects...

Potatoes.
Weighing 2 pounds 7 ounces.

1) Weight obsession


When people have a new baby, they always seem to mention how much it weighs.  But why?  What's the big obsession with baby weight?  We don't mention weight at other times.

For example, imagine getting married and updating your facebook status as follows...

John Smith married Rebecca Holloway.
Weighing 9 stone 7 pounds.

You just wouldn't do it, so why do people feel the need to mention how much babies weigh?



2) Time travel benefits


If time machines were ever invented, it's inevitable that some people would end up using them as a 'snooze' button.



3) Your PIN number is 1973


Actually, for 9,999 out of 10,000 people who read this, 1973 won't be their PIN number.  But one out of every ten thousand people who reads this will be extremely paranoid for a moment!



A rare sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.

4) The best safety device


If you're worried about being attacked by aliens, the Loch Ness Monster, or the Yeti, protect yourself by taking a camera with you.



5) Best before


Why does mineral water that has trickled through mountains for centuries have a use by date?



6) Healthy Thursdays!


"Patients are kindly requested not to get ill on Thursdays...
...because we're shut!"
My local doctor's has a sign in the reception area informing patients that they are closed on Thursday afternoons for staff training.

So to help them out, I've decided not to get ill on a Thursday afternoon!



7) Typing conundrum


On a keyboard why are the letters jumbled up, yet the numbers are in order?



"Say aaahh!"
A tiger yawning.

8) A lucky escape!


Of all the bodily actions which could have been contagious, we're lucky it was the yawn.



9) Groundhog Day


They should announce a sequel to Groundhog Day, and then just re-release the original.



10) Groundhog Day


They should announce a sequel to Groundhog Day, and then just re-release the original.




Footnote: I bet the photo of the tiger yawning made you feel like yawning!
