- "Photo" and "photography" start with "ph" but "footage" doesn't.

- How can "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?

- Led Zeppelin's song "Houses of the Holy" doesn't appear on their album "Houses of the Holy".

- If you put chocolate into warm milk it's known as a "hot chocolate" but putting chocolate into cold milk isn't called "cold chocolate".

- What's up with scoring in Tennis? 15, 30 then 40. Why not 45? Or better yet, why not just 1, 2, 3 or 10, 20, 30?

So... George Carlin is dead, and today is All Saints Day, and... you sound like George Carlin...

CARLIN...THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO.

1. That America can only come up with Donald Trump and Joe Biden as Presidential candidates.

2. Prisons.

3. Unemployment.

5. That there has been no huge globally game changing scientific discovery since the atomic bomb.

6. The second invasion of Iraq after 9/11.

7. Handing half of New Guinea over to Indonesia.

Bomb shelters?

[–] actionkamen (23176) 4 years ago

The Internet is a huge globally game changing scientific discovery.

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

Agreed.

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 4 years ago

No it isn't. Free unlimited energy; travelling through wormholes in space; telepathy; "tractor beams", these are huge globally game changing scientific discoveries. The internet is just a very convenient way of accessing what already existed.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 4 years ago

Okay... COVID-19 is a huge globally game changing scientific discovery. There.

Cheese puffs were commercialized in 1946.

9. Humanity over consuming its own planet and shitting on its own doorstep in a non sustainable way resulting in suicidal and accelerating drive to mass extinction.

[–] jriley555 (8552) 4 years ago

we're just cruising into the great culling, and can only hope it isn't a ME.

i think humanity will survive for a good while yet, but the cullings are definitely on order.

tennis scoring is bizarre.

[–] nyctc7 (44116) 4 years ago

What do you call Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder Playing Tennis?

Endless Love.

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

I would just call it entertaining.

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 4 years ago

I would love to see that!
or better yet some blindfolded pros.

once they get the hang of the score zone on the serve it'd probably be faster moving than normal tennis !

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

with ronnie milsap as line judge.

[–] bobbydallas (8683) 4 years ago

i'd love to help out but......

fat chance.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

watch it, slim.

Every era has stuff that doesn't make sense. Edward VII mulling stuff that doesn't make sense:

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

This is way too smart for me.

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 4 years ago

I was sure that was going to be a Blackadder clip!

[–] Who (5146) 4 years ago

Whatever happened to creme rinse? It’s all conditioner now. Maybe wrong contribution but none of that ever made sense.

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

I'm sure it's still around just less so.

[–] snepts (11123) 4 years ago

Thanks

Clearly you're not Canadian and haven't tried one of these bad boys:https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41aEdhjBmNL._AC_SY400_.jpg

[–] Redsfan001 (6218) 4 years ago

Moon pies?

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

Generally. Bring one of these to school, and all the kids start lining up asking for a piece.

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 4 years ago

Those look good.

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

They are.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

i liked the passion flaky

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

I was jealous when kids brought it to school and I didn't have one.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

[–] moviechatterer (16326) 4 years ago

Cows eat grass which is green. But milk is white?!

Humans have different colour foods.
