Subject: What Amazes/baffles you?

Written By: Dominic L. on 09/09/05 at 4:56 pm

What do you find amazing or what is it that just leaves you in total bafflement (is that a real word)?

What baffles me is, well... I had a good one, but I forgot it!

So hopefully you'll think of one and post it here!

It Amazes me that Survivor is still on the air.  I thought that show would wear thin after the first few seasons



OMG....I know! I mean, they just keep recycling the same stereotypical characters with each season.....I used to really like it....years ago, but it is really boring now!

yes, it seriously would...I could see it now..."A bomb (of some sort) has been set off this evening at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pa"....there are no casualties (so to speak)....but there were some random passersby that no longer have their sense of smell, and a few others that had to be treated with oxygen.  It has not been confirmed as to what caused this...but rumor has it, 2 unidentified males were caught fumigating the air with their lethal gas!!! LOLOLOL! ;D

Tell me about it, lol. I can't believe that an "80s teenager" (eg: someone born around 1965-70) is now a complete adult and starting to be in charge of the world. My mind still perceives them as young, no more than their twenties.

And to think that process is happening to ME too (an 80's born person) is just so freakin' weird! ;)

I guess I'm still (relatively) young, at the beginning of 24, but it's like, I was 10 yesterday. How did this happen? ;D

I was thining also of a fish they eat in Japan.  The main fish is all right but you have to remove one tiny part of it.  How many people died till they figured that out?  And why did they keep trying?
