It is list daaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!  (Yes, I just made it up.)

• Sometimes I wonder just who is deciding what will be on the news.  Is there some supercomputer sitting in a frozen warehouse crunching up numbers, statistics, and probabilities or is it some guy with a dart board and too many martinis.
• Why when you see one ant on you that you suddenly feel like there are thousands of ants on you when you know there isn’t?  Do ants have some sort of mind control that they used to protect themselves from giants like us that convinces us that we are wearing ant coats?
• When it gets dusty in space (and it does so quite often) do you use a vacuum cleaner?
• Who decided that yellow paint on the curb would mean no parking?  Why not orange or pink? Was the paint store having a sell on yellow paint that day?
• Why is the glass half full or half empty and not the glass being too tall?
• Why in Star Trek: The Next Generation does no one listen to heavy metal?  What happened to the punk rockers and the spiked hair?  I mean, the most contemporary music we hear is jazz played by Riker.
• Another thing about Star Trek, why has no one thought to transport (through the transporter no less) a bomb into the enemy’s engine room.  My strategy would be to weaken a part of the shields enough to transport a photon torpedo near a power conduit or inside the engine.  One boom and the ship is either destroyed or incapacitated. (That bothered me the whole Kazon story line during Voyager when the Kazon supposedly did not have strong shielding technology.)
• What possesses me to come up with these lists?  Why does possesses have so many s’s?
