What's the deal with...
On occasion, I notice things...I decided to make a thread about things that don't seem quite right, or just don't seem to make sense. Of course, now that I'm actually MAKING the thread, I can't think of all that many, but I'm sure they'll come to me over time, and I'd like to hear some of yours too.
Here's mine for now, a pitiful three...but stuff that I just don't get. "What's the deal with..." *Well, OTHER than when you've hit the mexican...why do most farts end up smelling worse than shit? *The words "close" and "close"...the same word, completely different meanings...unless of course it could be in reference to closing distance or a gap, eg - two things getting closer together, such as a door and a door frame? Hm...I think I MAY have just figured this one out, but it sure is a bit of laziness not to have a seperate word for each. *Fucking spin dryers...I'm sure certain models won't apply here, but just about every single one I've ever had ends up losing its knob/turny timer thing...it just shakes it off...C'mon manufacturers, haven't you realised this YET? Ok...those are mine....anyone care to add/discuss, go right ahead.

I have 2 things that I have simply never been able to figure out....
1- Why does a fart smell worse when it emerges from underwater? (Like if you are sitting in a bath or hot tub & rip one, it smells worse than if you had let'er rip on dry land.) What's the deal with that? 2- Yawning. What the hell? Is there a reason that seeing someone else yawn instantly causes a domino effect around the room? There simply must be a reason for this, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out...

Possible solutions...
1: I assume usually tou bathe in hot water? The water particles/steam in the air may absorb the gas somewhat and carry it more effectively, and/or in a slightly more solid state to your lungs, past your nose and mouth, therefore making it seem more potent? 2: I think I know this one. Yawning is meant to be a sign that you are mentally and physically relaxed. Not neccessarily tired (although one does feel more relaxed when fatigued, especially physically), so if you were even in a class and had a bitchy teacher who snapped at you for yawning during their class, it was more than likely nothing to do with intended attention span, more the fact that you were relaxed in a familiar situation. The domino effect? I'd say that it's bought on initially by the subconscious psychological effect of witnessing another person obtaining a relaxed state by which they indicate witha yawn...you see it, and hear it, and I think that part of you responds in kind "well, if theyre relaxed it must be all good..etc", and in turn, you obtain or start moving towards the same state? That's my best guess. Ok, now someone work out mine. Keep 'em coming... Oh! I got another one...that thing where you're walking towards another person...then you try to go around them and they try to do the same, and so on and so on and so on...WHY does that invoke so much fury? I don't know if it's only me, but when it happens, even though I acknowledge that they're only doing what they perceive to be the polite or logical thing to do, as am I...after the awkward part of getting around eachother, as I'm walking away, I just can't help but think "fucking idiot..." Is that...just me? I find it infuriating, and it's such a small thing... One more - why in the fuck don't shopping centres do more to stop their trolleys from getting stuck together? a monthly oiling may do the job, but no...it seems too much to expect, and we continue to get the trolley conga line thing happening, at least every couple of times we go shopping. Is this not something clear to the staff as well, when they see people physically abusing their trolleys in a desperate attempt to get them undone? whooboy.

Im pretty sure farts smell worse from water because your nose is moist most of the time because it requires moisture to trap the scent molecules as well as transmit the signature of them to the cell (notice in the middle of winter, you cant smell much, but on amuggy day, the world is alive with smells)
basically, if your nose is dry, you cant smell as well anyway. Well, in the water, that stinker is collecting a bit more moisture, making it easier for your nose to detect. so they dont actually smell worse, they smell "clearer". I know, it's gross.

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
Is there another word for synonym? Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"? Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all? " What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? Would a fly without wings be called a walk? Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked? Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

Can a man drown in the fountain of eternal life?
What happens if you're in a car going at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on?
