Random thoughts for the day



1. I just recently noticed that I'm the only person in the world who refers to the color of a street light when it's about to turn red as "orange." Everyone else in the world apparently refers to this color as "yellow." Hunh. Looks orange to me. Maybe orangish-yellow.

2. Fruit flies are actually best killed with 2 hands. The usual one-hand-swipe method, which is soooo effective with mosquitoes and house flies, is totally unhelpful with fruit flies. I finally figured out why today. I think it's because they are so tiny, they have so little weight, when you try to swat at them with one hand, the force of your hand on the air actually creates an air current that pushes them out of harms way. On the other hand, if you clap BOTH hands together with the fruit fly in the middle, the opposing forces cancel each other out, thus trapping the fruit fly.

3. Today I received a "Club Wedd" gift registry invitation from Target. Is somebody playing a prank on me?

ok, i think i had another one, but it escapes me at the moment.
