Strange or unexplained phenomena are more common than you woulda thunk..
1. Why does the hearse (as in carrying a dead person) get priority in traffic? At least in some states...in death ahead in traffic, after all aren't they at a permanent red light?
2. What is with the term 'Red light area'? Who would actually want to visit that kind of aurora pornealis? From what I understand its more like no lights area.
3. Why do I have to tip the guy that drives a van from the parking lot to the airport but not the pilot after he flies me to a different continent?

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...
