Like most people, sometimes really strange questions cross my mind. Sometimes they are relatively profound, other times they’re just plan stupid. So, in an effort to provide a bit of entertainment, here’s a small list of the random questions of life that has crossed my mind recently.
- If a genie granted me the powers and abilities of a fictional character, would I want to be Goku or Spider-Man?
- In either scenario, what would I do to gain money?
- Would it actually be any fun if there wasn’t anybody near as strong as me?
- Who has actually ever been handed lemons and thought, “life couldn’t get much worse”?
- What are the origins of the nursery rhyme “One, two, buckle my shoe”?
- I can follow the story of putting on your shoes, going outside and shutting the door, and then picking up sticks. What does any of that have to do with a hen?
- How did Gimli catch up to Legolas’ kill count in the battle for Helm’s Deep when Legolas had so much of a head start from shooting arrows?
- Considering the upbringing of this next generation, is it possible that the majority of Christian kids won’t know the Lord’s Prayer or the Doxology at some point?
- If CL4P-TP can’t feel pain then why was he programmed with ability to express pain?
- What about comic book movies is so outrageous as to disqualify them from being considered great films by Ethan Hawke?
- Will we get another Psych movie?
- Who decided the pronunciation of bomb and tomb?
- If Homestar Runner were to release a feature film, how would it perform at the box office?
- What sort of powers does Strong Bad’s imagination have? People he imagines, such as Strong Badman and Senor Cardgage end up being real characters after he thinks of them.
- If Goku moves so fast that hours long bits of animation happen over the course of 5 in-universe minutes (or other instances, such as the Universe Survival Saga), does that mean that conversations that happen during these instances are spoken incredibly fast and therefore at high pitches?
- Why couldn’t Netflix make Iron Fist fun and likable with a mysticism about him rather than a distraction from the awesomeness of Colleen Wing?
- What are the lyrics of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”? They always get fuzzy in my memory?
- What came first, asphalt roads or automobiles?
- What would happen if I was transported back to kindergarten with all my current memories and mental maturity?
- Why did something think of the concept of luck and associate salt with it?
- If my life was a movie, who would be the actor that plays me?
- What do people find compelling about Dwayne Johnson’s acting?
- Why can’t we have the real Teen Titans back?
- Why can’t Power Rangers be as awesome as I remembered?
- Who decided that the middle note of everything musical would be called “C”?
- What’s up with the different pronunciations of “schedule”?
- If you took out every single song from secular music that wasn’t a variation of “I love him/her”, “I hate him/her”, “Drugs/Sex/Alcohol is cool”, and “I just want to have fun”, how many songs would you be left with?
- How did the creation of the dance to “La Macarena” come to pass?
- Why did my parents let me listen to Backstreet Boys and N’Sync?
- Naphthalene?
And there you have it! Hopefully some of these made you giggle, or maybe even muse yourself. Feel free to comment or shoot me a message if you want more info on these thoughts.
