Perplexing Things

Now I don't know about everyone else, but I have a lot of lists. My bucket list, to do list for the day, week, month, year etc, my time travel bang list, my "if I had a million dollars" list and the list that I personally think is the most interesting, my list of things that perplex or fascinate me. So I will share a few of the things on that list now. This is coming up because I realized today that I really like making lists. So here we go! Top 10 things in no particular order!

1. The roadway system
                -How did this even come about? Ever single time I drive(and since I spend pretty     much most of my life at this point in the car, thats a lot) I think "how did someone think of this? Roads end, begin, merge into other roads, the clover leafs, the exit ramps, entrance lamp, the all the way across the country roads etc. Just fantabulous, baffles my mind. That and stop lights and how they are always in sync and not causing crashes. Just awesome. Shout out my frand Sean who is now in graduate school studying this very thing that perplexes me.

2. Why the ocean is blue
                -I know that I could probably google this, but I would rather leave it mulling around in my head. Water is clear in its best form, so why it appears blue is just so cool. And why some oceans are bluer than others. Again, fantabulous.

3. Math
                -Well, math perplexes me in a way that is more academic. I just don't understand it and I don't have the patience for it. But what perplexes me in a non-academic way about it is that it is the same all around the world. No matter where you go, it will always be the same. 2+2 will always equal 5!

4. Airplane traffic
                -The airplane's themselves don't perplex me, they just are cool. The actual airplane air traffic is so cool! So many planes in the air at one time and they are arriving at destinations on time(most of the time) and intact(lets hope most of the time).

5. Whales
                -Are really big. Nough said.

6. Addresses
                -How are there no duplicates? Who decides what your address is if you build a house? So many questions, not enough answers. I wonder who has the address number 1. There has to be one somewhere in the country or world.

7. License plates
                 -So much information in those little tiny plates

8. My brain
                 -Brains in general don't perplex me. They mostly just gross me out while occasionally amazing in between. My own brain is what perplexes me. Sometimes I wonder how I came up with some of the things I say and some of the things I think. If you know me, you know what I mean. If you don't, I think you can guess just from being a reader. One moment I can be really smart and the next... squirrel!

9. Tootsie Rolls
                 -How can a candy that looks like a turd and isn't really chocolate be so good?! And how do they get it inside the suckers? And duh, how many licks does it take to get to the middle...

10. Finger Nails
                 -Where do they come from? Why do they keep growing? So weird, kind of like hair...But I guess that is for another day.

Until next time folks!
