Things that amaze you

like tinfoil. It amazes me that you can take that stuff out of a hot oven with your bare hands and not get burned.
cell phones too. When I was a kid if I got out of reach from my parents yell I was as free as a bird. now I can be in the middle of the woods and call my kid who is fishing on a lake in another state.


What amazes you?

It amazes me when a company sells you something, then sells the product you just bought from right under you, making you wait.

But on a positive note, it amazes me how awesome mcnuggets are.

Proof of yet another conspiracy by the gub'mint so the people can't safeguard themselves!

Back to topic: What amazes me is knowing that no matter what we can do with aircraft, birds can pull off even simple maneuvers in ways pilots can only dream of.

What amazes me?


Sub-atomic particles amaze me.


Also I am amazed by the refrigerator door light. I swear its still on inside there. I'm tempted to climb in and find out.

I was thinking of training a chimp with sign language to tell me if it is on or not. It may take a while, but I won't ruin a perfectly good refrigerator.

This brings up something that always bothered me.
They make ovens with glass doors.
Why not refrigerators?
