Getting bored is normal to all human beings. Except the human no other animals in the entire existence gets bored. I wonder why people get bored! Leaving these philosophical questions aside about getting bored, I wish to state that whenever you are bored, not knowing what to do, think about few things that can never make any sense. They are simply beyond any sense. Few examples:
- If poison expires, does it become more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous or less poisonous?
- State which letter is silent in the word ‘SCENT’ – is it the ‘S’ or the ‘C’?
- Do the twins ever realize the truth that one of them is unplanned?
- Why is the letter ‘W’ in English, called double ‘U’? Should it not be called double ‘V’?
- Oxygen is a slow killer. It takes around 75 – 100 years to work fully. Don’t you think so?
- Every time you clean something, you make something else dirty!
- The word ‘SWIMS’ upside down is still ‘SWIMS’.
- 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars, and only the rich own horses.
- If you replace ‘W’ with ‘T’ in What, Where and When, you get an answers to each of them.
- At a movie theatre, which arm rest is yours?
- If people have evolved from monkeys, why are monkeys still around?
- Why should we wash our bath towel if we are clean after shower?
