I’ll admit that my thoughts aren’t as funny as this one.  I did manage to write a few odd ones down before they vanished.  We all seem to have these thoughts at some point though, so it’s fun to share.  Feel free to add any of your own to the comments.

  • Yawning is done when we’re tired or bored, but it doesn’t help either situation.
  • How many colors exist that humans simply cannot see?
  • If old dogs can easily learn new tricks then does the phrase mean the opposite of how we use it?
  • Earth is the Garden of Eden and humans removed themselves from the natural order of things due to their acquired knowledge.
  • Most of what we learn in school is only needed to pass tests and not look stupid during trivia contests.
  • How long will it be before crude oil is made from dead humans instead of dead dinosaurs?
  • Would people be nicer to each other if emotional and mental abuse were handled as seriously as physical abuse?
  • Art is subjective, but people still make careers off their opinions being ‘right’.
  • Swear words are only insulting if you know what they mean.  If you don’t then they’re empty gibberish.
  • Most monsters were created by putting horns, wings, or fins on a regular animal.
  • Telepathy may be impossible since humans don’t even listen to the words we say out loud.
  • Several letters are simply altered versions of their neighbors. m/n, H/I, o/p, u/v, v/w, x/y, k/l, E/F, i/j, c/d, p/q.
  • I wonder what people threw into fire to see if it exploded after they discovered popcorn.

    You have some really inventive thoughts, which is shown in your writing. I’ve always wondered what provoked the first person to try fish eggs. Did this person think, Someday people are going to pay a lot of money for this/em>?
