A Few Thoughts on Logic

Most of you that follow this blog know that I'm a pretty logical dude. (sometimes too logical) In fact, I have been told in the past that the very reason that I totally suck at algebra is due to the way my noodle is wired, because there's not a single damn ounce of logic involved with algebra.
But I digress.....Webster's defines logic as..."a science that deals with the principle and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration." From the Greek logos meaning "to reason"
Non-logical shit upsets me greatly. Not that we should default to Vulcan logic, but can we not think things through a bit before we DO them?
Think about the following topics.....

  • Ever wonder why you take wax off a floor, only to turn right around and out it right back on?
  • Ever wonder why the 400-lb chick comes to the movie theatre and gets the 50-gallon drum of popcorn with extra-extra butter.....and a Diet Coke?
  • How about when the phone company charges you for NOT having a phone line?
  • Ever wonder why the sun lightens our hair but darkens our skin?
  • Why is the word "abbreviated" such a long word?
  • Why do they sterilize needles used for lethal injections?
  • If flying is so safe, why is the airport called a 'terminal"?
  • Ever wonder why there's no mouse-flavored cat food?
  • Ever wonder why dogs lick their own ass.....and immediately want to kiss you on the mouth?
  • Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are dead?
  • Why do we wait until a pig is dead to "cure" it?
  • If Barbie is so damn popular, why do you have to buy all her friends?
  • Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?
  • How does one "walk on thin ice" and immediately "get into hot water"?
  • When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

Just some things to think about the next time you don't have anything on your mind!!
