"Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get." That's what H. Jackson Brown, author of Life's Little Instruction Book and Live And Learn And Pass It On, says. My question is, what if you want happiness?
Yes, I feel like being smart now... or as others would prefer to describe this mood, I feel like being a smart-ass. Yup, I'm in one of my good moods now... except I don't feel like being nice. I feel like being mischievous.
Since I have my computer in front of me instead of some of my friends, I can't really diss anybody now. Instead, I'm channeling my energy into other stuff... thinking of useless trivia, and posing stupid questions. Fun, huh?
Trivia: The word "ain't" is actually a contraction of the words "am" and "not," and as such, is proper, albeit not formal, english. I ain't kidding.
Question: Why are watches generally worn on the left wrist? On a related topic, are pocket watches more often kept in the right pocket, or left?
More trivia: The best way to differentiate a monkey from an ape is by its tail. A monkey has a tail; an ape doesn't. In a related bit of trivia, all humans still have tailbones.
Even more trivia: The little Lego people are called minifigs.
Related trivia: The name Lego is a combination of the Danish words "leg" and "godt," which mean "play well."
Question: Where did the term "anal-retentive" come from? Wondering about that.
Another question: How did the word "faggot," which means a bundle of sticks, end up referring to homosexuals?
Absolutely stupid question: If you try to fail and succeed, what did you just do?
Trivia again: The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle.
Question: Why is it that (it seems) more women subscribe to astrology than men?
Trivia: The words "month," "orange," and "purple" do not rhyme with any other words in the English language.
Yet more trivia: Delilah did not actually cut Samson's hair. Instead, she called somebody else, most likely a barber, to do so. (see Judges 16:19)
Question: Are you tired of reading this yet?
Trivia: I'm getting sleepy. I'm ending this now.
