Ponderables

I saw this rather fascinating question in my friend Gaurav's blog

"If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?"

This made me sit up and wonder about the more mundane and rather illogical things in life. Here are few other "ponderables" which really make u hmmmm… haaa… rather deeply into the intricacies surrounding us and which when thought over definitely bring up a smile …… so read on and see if they make u ponder as well

• If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
• Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
• Why, if blind people wear dark glasses, don't deaf people wear earmuffs?
• Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?
• Is it good if a vacuum really sucks?
• Why are cigarettes sold at gas stations where smoking is prohibited?

And my personal favorite one

“If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?”

As a fan of politics and someone who hopes to one day be one of those CONgresspeople...I must say "OUCH!"
As for the “If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular," one must enter the sick twisted world of the male mind.
