Okay...two thoughts. See? I told you I needed a random thoughts page. First off...what's with the sudden news coverage of kidnapped children? If you were new to the country and you turned on the news, you'd think kidnapping was a new thing or that it's getting horrible worse or something...it's clearly not. For some odd reason kidnappings across the country suddenly became national news. How? Why? Who cares? I mean, not to sound cold...I do care about poor kids who are taken from their homes or schools or playground or whatever, but the networks are only using the stories for ratings. It's not national news. It doesn't need to be talked about ad nauseam.
Second..why in movies and videos and tv and stuff do people sometimes spill gas all over themselves when they're filling up the tank, because they aren't paying attention? Isn't that impossible? I mean...maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought the gas pump knew when your tank was near full, so it shut itself off? Am I missing something here?!
By the way...that is so the first time I have ever used ad naseam in anything I have written...neato...
