Strange Things People Do

It does depend on specific conditions, but you are wrong with the "always run"... I remember in Fluid Dynamics we did a mathematical case study on this and showed this to be false. That was a long time ago and I am not going to work it out again.

I remember doing the same style case studied. The teacher fixed one of the puzzles so that the best action was in fact to stand still, and another was to run on all fours.

I think he made his point about how variables are important.

Listen. Soaking wet is soaking wet. Once you're wet, you're wet.

What else?

Guess you live where it never rains but it pours.

SlowwHand, you should know by now -- on Apolyton, nothing even as simple as this will ever get a complete consensus agreement.

I tell you what's strange Sloww.
I've noticed this a million times, and I do it sometimes myself too, not on purpose though.

When someone looks his watch casually and then continues doing what he was doing, ask right away 'what time is it?' and they'll check out their watch with 95% certainty.

Ask what date it is, and again they look the answer from the watch, even though the watch wouldn't have dates in it.

Sometimes people look for their watch anytime they're trying to find an answer to a question that suddenly pops up. I don't know.. watches are controlling us.

Everytime people answer their cell phones, the first answer is 'I'm in .....'. So the first question must be 'where are you?', as if it matters most of the times.

When ever people fall or trip in public places, first thing they do is check around if anyone saw them tripping. Then they are embarrased. Sometimes when they clearly hurt themselves, still the first thing is to see if anyone saw and then see if they're hurt. Then they try to hide the fact that they just fell, getting up quickly and like it was meant to be like that.

Everytime when people come inside from the rain, they go 'Hurrh hurrh' and shake their body. Are we dogs, do we have furs or why you do that? Even if you're soaking wet, or just a bit, that the shaking won't do anything, even if you're not cold, you still do the 'Hurrhh'. I wonder why.

Uh . . . . my watch has the daily date on it.

I find it strange that people answer 'Time you got a watch!' to the question 'What time is it?'. They obviously are part of the conspiracy

I have never worn a watch so I don't do this, unless I mean to be funny... but no one really gets it. I look at my bare wrist and tell them "I don't know" and they usually reply "Is your watch broken?" I laugh.

My sister use to think it best to drive as fast as you can through intersections; you lessen the amount of time you spend in the intersection thus the less chance of being hit.

Is there more to that story? Is she now a poster girl for the state police?

My dad does the nut thing but he puts peanuts in his Coke or Dr. Pepper. He also eats saltine crackers in a chocolate milk shake

[Spiffor]

I often look at my watch when someone asks my age

I know a crazy Texan who puts nuts in his beer. That's just strange,.

Yea, but it does cool you off, and the carbonation feels...good.

seeking a precise answer to the question, I gather.
