(*Thank F'ing God Its Friday)

This has been one weird week. Work has been hella busy. I pulled a 12 hour day on wednesday, havent done that in forever. My sleep has been off (except for last night--crashed at 9 woke up at 4:30 went for a longer run). I have not lifted weights for a full week now--WTF Portana, are you sick? No, just exhausted. Too much going on, too much to do, and in my effort to listen to my body, I took the week off from lifting weights. Which is probably good, considering I have a 1/2 marathon next weekend. Light lifting starting tomorrow and throughout the week. New training program after the 1/2.

OK, I can go down one of two paths...I can bore you with my new training program to increase my running speed or I can amuse you with my half assed answers to an email I sent out this morning. Lets go answers (just to prove that I am not obsessive with my running).

>Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin? Hrmph. Anyone want to look up the scientific answer on the net?
>Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? The connector muscles to the face and how women hold their eyes when they put on mascara. It can be done, the mascara doesnt go on as well though.
> Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?> Volume of and air in the glue. It will stick eventually--been there, left the bottle open on that.
>Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery?" Because there are no such things as a Psychic (Took the Tom Cruise approach on that one)
> Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? I've seen longer
> Why is a boxing ring square? A guess? It used to be round then someone changed the rules.
> Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips? Duh, the color sticks to your lips, Einstein.
> Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin? Or seal it? Bugs. But the body will decompose anyway...so I am going with some ritual in ancient days that has just stuck.
> Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Because medicine is an art, not an exacting science and if people would realize that there would be a hell of a lot less lawsuits out there (wow, Portana, stepping off the soap box now).
> Why is it that rain drops but snow falls? Rain falls, its about symantics.
> Why is it that to stop Windows 95 or 98, you have to click on "Start?" Because Bill Gates has a warped sense of humor and there are other ways to stop it ie: control+alt+delete
> Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio? Thats like asking why do I need my glasses to hear? Get your five senses in better focus would be my guess.
> Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons? Cheaper for the first, better cleaning agent for the second.
> Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Another historical one that I am too lazy to look up.
> Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Because everyone rushes out of work to get home, to the gym etc.
> Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary? Doi, because it is a recognized word in languages thus the listing.
> Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Because a mouse tastes like chicken, why copy what is already there?
> You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance? It would be too heavy to fly the plane then.
> Can fat people go skinny-dipping? They can, its not a pretty site.
> Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive? You actually just need a state ID, not necessarily a drivers license. They are looking for proof of age, not driving ability.

So there you have it folks, all of the worlds questions answered today! wOOt! I am on a roll this week! Actually I am full of shite and just sometimes need to unload it ;-)
