Politics. Music. Life. And the pursuit of fractal integrity in 108,050 Glorious Words.
Slate has posted a great list of questions unanswered in 2007. They range from head scratching to stupendously stupid. The questions for which would like the questioner to suffer in silence without an answer include:
Why do male ice skaters have routines that are so feminine in execution? After all these years, there should be some kind of movements on ice that would be more masculine-looking. The gymnastics shows have them.
Mitt Romney is running for president. His father, George Romney, a former governor of Michigan, ran for president in 1968. Is “Mitt” named for the mitten-shape of Michigan?
How often are presidents born, and how often do they die? Do they die in bunches, or on average every four years?
The questions that I would like answered include:
When a fly lands on a ceiling, does it execute a barrel roll or an inside loop?
What would happen to the rest of the planets and the sun if Jupiter were to explode, or somehow leave our galaxy altogether?
Can dogs be mentally retarded?
Why don’t we drop medical waste and nuclear waste into active volcanoes, the “ultimate high-temperature incinerators”?
But the one question that not only deserves an answer but also deserves a single round of applause and a cookie is:
Is it “open sees me” or “open says me”?
