Random Thoughts

Here are some of the things I contemplated while I mowed the lawn this afternoon:

• What is the plural form of the word plural? Does it have one? "Plurals" doesn't sound right, but then again the computer machine thingy didn't underline it telling me it was wrong. However, it did underline thingy. Twice now. For now, I will just say that the plural form of plural must be a made up word. Like pluralidum. "Jim went to the garage to clean up the scatted rakes, and lawn bags." That sentence contains pluralidum.
• Why are bugs of all sizes attracted to your face? Those little gnats constantly fly around your face begging you to swat them away. Are they into that kind of thing, because there are professionals for that. Seriously, you don't see them flying around any other part of your body. You would think they would stay away from your face, seeing as that part contains the most ways they can die. For example, near your face opens up the chance of them flying into your eye, into your mouth, or just by seeing them we, in turn, swat at them. If you're a bug, here's a word of advice: Stay away from the face. Temporarily blinding someone is not worth your life. This theory is not limited to just the insects capable of flight either. Spiders will also crawl up your face while you're sleeping, or repel down onto you from the ceiling. In my opinion, they're just looking for friends because they don't have any. Everybody hates a spider. They never get invited to parties.
• Finally, if there was a giant food battle, who would win: General Mills, or Captain Crunch? The obvious choice to make is to say General Mills due to his outranking of the Captain. Mills also has a plethora of soldiers at his whim, like Hamburger Helper, Fruit by the Foot, as well as wheaties. And let us not forget Lucky Charms. Leprechauns are no slouches. It would seem the Captain would be overwhelmed by this, but low and behold... his secret weapon. The cereal would cut the roof of everybody's mouth. While they're down for the count, the Captain would lay siege to the General and claim victory for crunch berries everywhere!

Who knows what the next lawn mowing experience will bring...
