Think. Think again!
Life is full of surprises. Just look around at what we are doing
looking at it from a third party point of view. Do we see the absurdity
of some serious things we delve in. Time to think twice; thrice if we
must, before we continue with the age old practices. Or do we?

Children hear... children see... children do... |
In typical idiosyncratic ways and practices of adults, we continue
unabated. Have a look at what we keep believing in, doing and saying.
Just look at the collection of queries children continue to ask us. They
are puzzled. So are we! Think! Think again.
If man evolved from apes why do we still have apes? What should you
do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

terrible?
If you had amnesia and then were cured, would you remember that you
forgot?Why is the word abbreviation so long?
Do hyenas laugh even when they are being killed?Why do overlook and
oversee mean opposite things?Why is it that if someone tells you that
there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them but if
they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be
sure?How much deeper would oceans be if sponges didn’t live there?
If it’s true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are
the others here for?Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if
it didn’t zigzag?Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do
“practice”?How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the
mornings?

already know you don’t have?

the frying pan?
If you are cross-eyed and dyslexic at the same time, would you see
okay?

Why does sour cream have a use-by date?
Why isn’t phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Why is it that when you’re driving and looking for an address, you
turn down the volume of the radio?
Why is it that you see this written on car seat belts:? ‘This seat
belt does not offer any protection if it is not buckled up’?
Why is it that international magazines that advertise products will
have the same description of something in different languages, but the
description of each language is written in English? Who’s that supposed
to benefit?
If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?
How come Superman could stop bullets with his chest, but always
ducked when someone threw a gun at him?
Why do we wait until a pig is dead to “cure” it?
Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
What is the speed of dark?
How come you never hear about gruntled employees?

It doesn’t matter what temperature a room is, it’s always room
temperature.

It does not cost us to think. So? Think. Think again.
