Some Things I Wonder About

—Why is it Itunes, but Youtube?

—Mismatched socks that you drop on the way back from the laundromat: where do they go?  Does someone pick them up and use them in some kind of art project (very possible at my school)?  Or should I blame trolls?

—Why are coffee makers called baristas?  Is there a verb barist to go along with that?

—Why do I see people’s complaints about the changes on facebook before I actually see the changes?

—Some languages are read left to right.  Some are read right to left.  Some are read top to bottom.  Are there any that are read bottom to top?  What about in spirals?

—The song, the Little Drummer Boy.  Beautiful song, but what mother would let someone play a drum for a newborn baby? 

—Why does Rudolph’s nose glow red?  I’d be worried about radioactivity if I were him.  On a similar note, how did anyone come up with the idea of flying reindeer?

—How many decades has it been since anyone went riding in a one-horse open sleigh?
