Random thoughts (part 12)

From time to time on the Charles Fudgemffin blog, I randomly like to publish a few random thoughts on random subjects. Today is one of those times.

"Nobody tells me what to do! I'll climb where I want!"

1) Gone astray

You can never lose a homing pigeon. If a 'homing' pigeon doesn't come home, you've lost a normal pigeon.

2) Too good to waste

Have you noticed that there are never any leftover recipes for chocolate?

3) Hypocritical opinions

It really annoys me when people use big words just to make themselves look perspicacious.

Please note, this isn't the confused girl on the metro. It's a gorilla.

Editor's note: "Charles, that should be obvious due to the fact that
it's taking the selfie itself, rather than asking its friend to take it."
Charles: "And also because it's a gorilla, not a girl!"

4) Photographic mix-up

I once heard a girl on the metro ask her friend to take a 'selfie' for her. I don't know if she realises, but if someone else takes it, it's not called a selfie. It's called a 'photo'.

5) Time-keeping memories

At some point in the future we may have to explain to kids what 'tick, tock' means, as almost all modern clocks and watches are silent.

"Challenge accepted!"

6) A frightening discovery

The first person ever to inhale helium must have been totally freaked out when they heard their voice.

7) Baby breakout

To a toddler, every room is an escape room.

8) Sternutational favourites

My favourite nut that sounds like a sneeze is the cashew nut.

9) Contrasting constitutions

Is that an American first aid kit, or an English first aid kit?

When you go to the webmd medical website, it asks you if you want to be redirected to their UK website. I couldn't help wondering, 'Why does a medical website need separate versions for the US and the UK?'

Is a broken leg somehow different in America compared a broken leg in England? Are American people biologically different from UK people?

Surely biology and medical issues are the same all around the world!?

10) Final thoughts

In conclusion, there are ten letters.

11) Bonus thought

I bet you counted the letters in 'conclusion', didn't you, just to check there were ten?

Editor's note: "Charles, if the 'random' thoughts are specifically about food and nature, then they're not random, are they? They should be called 'specific' thoughts."
Charles: "Fine! I'll redo the links below!"
