Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) Why is a mouse hole characterized as an upside-down "U" shape? This is the classic representation of a mouse hole, yet looks nothing like an actual mouse hole.

2) Same vein: Why is a heart represented the way it is, when the human heart looks nothing like that?

3) I'd love to see a new line of Valentine's Day wear from Victoria's Secret with actual representations of the human heart embroidered in pink and red, all sexy like. I'd wear it.

Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) All of our senses are just big holes in our faces. Except touch. But our skin has a billion little holes in it.

2) There was an anti-stalking campaign this week, which I think is great. However, I also giggled a bit about the fact that in order to stay informed I had to follow them.

3) Whenever I tweet or tumbl someone I feel slightly dirty. Like, in public if you said to someone, "Yeah I tumbled you," or, "I tweeted you," it would be awkward. Also if you said you find yourself constantly pinning them.

Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately are sense-based...

1) Everyone probably remembers from health class that our eyes actually see everything upside-down, and our brain flips the image. But what if the world is actually upside down and our brain knows we can't handle that?

2) If you poke something with a stick you can feel its texture via the stick. How the eff does that work?

3) Talked about this before, but still mulling it. Smell is the most adaptive sense. Think about it - you adjust to bad smells and good smells, leave the room, come back, and smell them all over again. What if all our senses worked this way? We could eat horrible food and not care, stab ourselves repeatedly, and go blind occasionally. OK never mind, nature knows what it's doing.
