I wanna Know

Post by minks »

How about a new twist on an old thread, the I want to know about these things, the why and how of it all like:

How is it mint is used as a breath freshner as opposed to strawberry, cloves or say... lilac? Who decided, did they vote and the pole came up with Mint as the best? I for one am happy to see toothpaste take a bold step and come out with orange and cinnamon flavors.

Why a diamond ring for an engagement and wedding ring? Why not the ruby, emerald or onyx?

And what about this if you are talking behind my back are you really facing me? Just where exactly is "behind my back"?

I dunno am I the only one who wonders about the mundane? I grew up with a mother who was the trivia champ of the planet and now I see myself going through withdrawl when it comes to useless bits of trivial information hehehehehe

I wanna know, why knowing that you wanna know, is something that I wanna know why. :confused:
Old age and treachery, is an acceptable response to overwelming youth and skill :D

It's diamonds because they are the hardest, therefore the longest lasting,hopefully the marriage will be, too!!
