wonders

Sometimes I wonder about things. Like, I wonder if the blind get offended that we call our white window shades, blinds. I wonder why we call our television sets TV’s but we don’t call our telephones TP’s. Did toilet paper steel the TP acronym? Who came up with Love Seat for the smaller version of a couch? Why didn’t they just call it a Mini? What’s love got to do with it? Who was it that sang that song? I wonder if the person that invented paper clips got pissed off when the stapler got invented. Or vise versa. I wonder what life would be like if there were no such thing as a sewage system. Would everything be greener? Would every place smell like shit? How do they find room for all of that shit? I wonder who it was that started the whole trend to put pictures and magnets on refrigerators? When refrigerators first came out, was it just natural human instinct to stick a picture on? I don’t think they did that for iceboxes. I can understand why a toaster is called a toaster but why isn’t the oven called a baker? Would this offend Bakers? Aha, I think I have the answer to this one. I bet it was a Baker that invented the oven. I wonder why drug companies choose such odd names for their drugs? Is this due to lack of creativity, or extreme egocentric false self-knowledge? Does extreme egocentric false self-knowledge make sense? I wonder how many different kinds of dog breeds there are now? Why do they call the little dogs, Toys? I wonder how many different kinds of wild animals there would be if we somehow found a way to breed them like we do dogs? Who came up with the peanut and butter combination? Such a good idea.

I welcome anyone to share his or her own wonders.
