I encourage new theories

Seeing all these birthdays take place in January (and there have been MANY), I have had to wonder- what is so special about April? How come so many children have been conceived in this month?
And is this, in any way, related to April Fools'?

Mind-boggling

Why is it that whenever I play Boggle I always find atleast 3 swear words before I start to find anything I can actually use in my list?

Also, you may have noticed that I now feature a "Followers" section on my blog, even though so far I only have 2. But these 2 followers have encouraged me to add this little gadget to my blog and advertise the fact that I only have two followers.
I don't know if this helping my ego or destroying it.

Sock it to me

I just read that Panic At The Disco's drummer, Spencer Smith, does not wear his socks twice. He wears each pair once and then throws them away.
He buys 3-pair packs from Wal*Mart for $5.
He is not the only one. I remember reading several times before that all these teenage musicians for some reason find it very difficult to wear the smaller articles of their clothing more than once. They'll wear new socks, then take them off and throw them away.
Isn't that incredibly wasteful? Why can't you just wash your socks? What's so difficult about that?
Think of the poor children across the world who wish they had socks for their cold feet, come winter!
And where do they throw them away? Into the trash? Can't they give them to the Salvation Army or whatever their local Edhi is? But if they do, the socks will be all gross and unwashed.
But if they make so much money that they can buy new socks every day, then why can't they hire someone to wash their socks for them before they give them to charity?
Even better, why can't they just hire someone to wash their socks SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUY NEW ONES CONTINUOUSLY???


What idiots.
