One: Starting Afresh.



Hello. (:

So let me start afresh by changing my blog (after deleting and decided to remake one again), though I won't be changing the blog URL 'cause it's such a hassle going around tagging everyone's blog to relink me. First and foremost, I'll be wasting a lot of time diverting to tonnes of blogs, and secondly, my computer is really an old and slow bitch (I don't know the gender of my computer though).

Since it's my blog, I'll consider being more open and straightforward in here. Of course, there are things that I will try not to mention here, which might in turn offend some people.

A new blog, a new start. I'll continue editing my blog layout 'cause I think it kinda sucks.

Anyway, moving on, I was surfing some forum (I'm not going to reveal the forum 'cause I'm a member and I don't think it's really right for me since permission is not given). But nevertheless, I'll still put up something that I had found interesting, and does make sense even if it doesn't seem to make sense. Some people might have seen it, of which I don't know who, but come what may, here it goes (kinda long, but please read on):

Now you know why foreign people find life in America so confusing!

We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that...

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins were not invented in England or French fries in France.

Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

Quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is
neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing. Grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth?

One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital?

Ship by truck, and send cargo by ship?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

Park on driveways and drive on parkways?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?

When a house burns up, it burns down.

You fill in a form by filling it out,and an alarm clock goes off by going on.

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?

All the best, peeps. (:
