I don’t know, but that’s precisely why I didn’t become one.
You are being given an award, everyone applauds. Do you clap for yourself or just smile ?
Why is it, when people hear a car backfire, they always say “I thought that was a gunshot!” and when they hear gunshots, they tell reporters “Well, at first I thought it was a car backfiring”??
Do cars even backfire any more, since the advent of fuel-injection engines?
Nope. This is, sadly, a dying cliche.
In China you would clap for yourself along with everyone.
What am I like to other people?
Why do they say “I’ll call you” and then they don’t?
My daughter is currently pondering that one. It’s one I never had a polite answer for.
Why don’t more girls ask guys out?
Hi all - I’m new to the board but i’ve been lurking for a few days.
I’m deaf from birth, but I speak. I don’t really suppose I think in ‘words’ - except, of course, trying to think of what word i want to type in next as i’m doing now.
e.g. - i just looked across the room and saw the kitchen is messy. I didn’t think “gee, my kitchen is messy” - i just noticed it. Words only come in handy when conveying them to someone else??? Like (spoken to my SO) “dear, please go clean the kitchen, I am attempting to become accepted into the exclusive teeming millions club.”
I definitely don’t dream with words. I actually wondered if people did. I also rarely see people sign in my dreams.
Why are bats considered creepier than mice?

perhaps because there are vampire BATS but no vampire MICE. (good thing, too :D)
Why don’t my children look like me?
I’ve birthed three of them. Not a one of them looks like me. I carried them in my body for nine months, suffered through labor and delivery, and you can’t tell by looking at them that they’re mine. I, my sister and my brother all look like my mother. My mother looks like her mother. Why don’t my kids look like me? I was pregnant. I swear to the Goddess, those children came from my body. I have witnesses to prove it.
I don’t get it.
What purpose do dreams really serve? Is it possible that the chaotic dream world is as real or more so then waking reality? I know when I touch a table in a dream it feels like I’m touching a table. It shows how much power perception has over your reality. Which reality is real?
Out there, I know, but I still think about it . . .

Welcome to the boards Smashed Ice Cream.
That’s very ineresting. I think that I only think with words when, like Smashed, I am planning to convey them to others like now. Usually I think in images that I narrate with words.
Very often I will think something in a second that takes several seconds to say.
