Magical Mystery Tour
I've been thinking, and there are a few things I just don't understand.

how can you comment on mysteries? know one knows. That's why they're mysteries.
I don't know; I guess I just figure that they aren't mysteries to everyone else and maybe they could enlighten me. I mean, Technology isn't nearly so much of a mystery to Matt as it is to me. And I'm sure someone could tell me what the appeal to low ride cars and trucks is...
I've always wondered about who invented Rice Krispy treats. They are a weird concept... And I also fail to see the appeal of House. I like the medical stuff, but his character drives me insane.
Foxy: Welcome to my page. =) And I completely agree with the House comment. I thought Medical Investigation was 1000 times better than House, but somehow House made it and MI didn't.
These are always fun!
* Low rider cars and trucks?
No clue what the fascination is. Unless it has to do with mirroring performance cars by lowering the groundeffects to prevent air from rushing under the car
* People thinking Brick Oven (a restaurant here) pizza is actually good
I don't care for pizza
* How anyone can sit through a whole show of "House"
Skyprincess got me watching this show. It suits our sense of humor rather well.
* Why we have leg, arm, armpit and pubic hair
Hair serves 2 purposes. To trap air and be a form of insulation, and also to be a form of friction alleviation.
* The appeal of smoking cigarettes
Some people just have an oral fixation. Just need to have something in their mouth. It's a nasty habit I never understood. I'm the only non-smoker child out of 6.
* How anyone could dislike foot rubs, back rubs or cuddling
Stumps me too!
* How people have such incredibly different tastes in food, music, entertainment, etc.
I'm not sure, but I am so incredible grateful for this. Who wants everyone to be the same? How boring would that be?
* How the Beadles came up with their music and what is it about their music that makes it so wonderful and timeless (I woke up with a Beadles song in my head yesterday and I hadn't even been listening to it the day before)
Err.. it was the Beatles. "I am the walrus!"
* Why I feel thirsty more frequently when I drink a lot of water
I always drank huge amounts of water when I ate. Then I'd not drink the rest of the day.
* Technology: how anyone figured out how to do things like make pictures appear on a monitor, sending faxes, inner workings of TV, Internet, etc
What's really amazing is that the US has a history of making incredible technological discoveries, but then drops the ball on translating those technologies into real world products. That's where the true genius is. How do you take the technology and make it into something every household needs?
Man, do I stink at spelling...
sometimes it's because I'm rushed, sometimes it's because I'm just not thinking, and sometimes it's because I just have no clue...
ah well. Please all forgive me...
another mystery
What is the appeal of a super loud bass? Around here guys drive by in their cars with the stereo blasting and the bass is so predominate that I can hear parts of their car rattling from the sound waves! I just do not understand why one would want the bass line in a song to be the ONLY thing you could hear.
A mystery solved Silly Marie:the Thsteeds are coming to visit you, so you'd better get ready. we'll be there on Saturday.
Oh wow,Saturday! Yes!
When I drive on the freeway with my windows down I have to turn my music way up. Sometimes I forget to turn it down when I slow down in town. However, the loud bass only thing is a little mysterious. Maybe they like the rattling. Shakes something in their soul.
Oh, and Mizike, thanks for shedding light on those. The one thing that still gets me about hair is that it really must not be THAT important since women just shave, lazer and wax it all anyway.
It may have been helpful 1000's of years ago, but can't we evolve already (like the Chinese) and lose the body hair. When I lived there they would always rub our arms and marvel at our unnecessary hair.
I hate bass. It makes me physically sick.
Low frequency sounds actually effect mood, it can quickly put you into a depressed mood. It's even used as a form of non-traditional warfare.
From the kids I've spoken to, they enjoy bass because it adds an additional diminsion to the music they listen to. Not only are they hearing the music, they can feel it.
It's not just your car windows that are rattling :D
Here's my big question. Why are hamburgers not made from ham?
mizike
thank you for the explination. I have always believed that bass is not good for you. I am subjected to the bass of our upstairs neighboor's rap music daily. It is horrible. After I have been forced to listen to it for about four hours I start feeling nauseous. The longer we live here the more I can feel myself slowly descending into maddness. Theric thinks I'm being silly about this, but now I have your comment to back me up, thank you.
In the UK hamburgers are called Beef burgers. The following is from wikipedia:
A common theory is that the word "hamburger" originated from Hamburg, Germany. In Hamburg it was common to put a piece of roast pork into a roll, called Rundstück warm, although this is missing the "essence" of the modern hamburger, which is ground meat.
the biggest mystery to me is how one little sperm and one little egg made my cute little boy! i have studied cell division and biology...but wow i am still amazed!
