Random Thoughts

Posted by Pixelhead

This is a post of random thoughts, inspired by Wayne’s 11 Random Thoughts post. Some of these were questions that we had while watching tv or just driving down the road.

Jowling Face

What play was Lincoln watching when he was shot? Answer: Our American Cousin
Where do deer sleep? In beds of vegetation, they will lay even when being approached by a predator, and will only bolt at the very last moment.
John Malkovich(Lizzie’s favorite actor) married to the same person since 1989 and has two kids. Was married once before for six years. Matriculated in Illinois. First film was in Robert Altman’s A Wedding in 1978 as an extra.
What would have happened when the prodigal son came back and and asked his pop for more stuff, and had not learned his lesson?
The top two Halloween costumes this year so far are Iron Man and fire man.
Hindsight is always better than foresight…got to back up that computer before its too late.

Here are some random thoughts from a Plurk thread.

Thought provoking. I was thinking also: Why are Guinea Pigs called pigs?

I think the prodigal son wouldn’t have asked for more stuff because there was nothing else that he could inherit. And his father technically didn’t owe him a thing. IMO.

Why does coke from a can taste better than from a bottle?

Why do birds poop when they’re flying?

What’s up with your photo? It’s unusually attractive.

I have just come across a real life story that can be called “The return of the prodigal father.” In this and age too!!

Interesting thought that about the prodigal son, though in real life it happens often enough, particularly with children who get addicted to some substance or the other. Families tend to get quite dysfunctional if the prodigal does not mend his ways.

Tertius and Amanda, the photo was a Jowling photo(see this Digital Photographys School Jowling post).

Nicole, yes often requires a lot of tough love, which many times is not something that the families choose to do.

Tertius, I totally agree with you about the prodigal son.

I have often wondered about the deer thing – amongst other animals that seem elusive!

Nice clarification of a random thought!

I was hoping that you would respond to the second comment from Tertius in a different way, something to do with being prodigal or so!

Nicole, so what do you think, do you think the father would have given him more even though he squandered his inheritance.

Oh, another random thought, Why is it called the World Series when it clearly is only American?

Why do they call them peanuts? Shouldn’t they be (more accurately) called pealegumes?

Deer also in case anyone wanted to know, are fun to feed but only feed them what they naturally would eat on their own, such as apples. They can die if you feed them something not specifically within their natural diets.

I was also wondering, how the name knucklehead came about?
Where does the Knuckle play into that?

Do you think people should stick to scary costumes for halloween and are you surprised about the top two costumes?

I myself am a fan of home made costumes…Creative costumes scary or not are my favorite.

Very interesting read, Answer to the question of why do we call Guinea Pigs Pigs some people believed that they were from New Guinea and that they looked like little baby pigs.
