The Thoughts That Keep You Thinking

Ever notice how some things in this world just don't make sense?  What are those random thoughts that keep you up at night?  Well here is a few for me...why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?  And my friends personal favorite...what the heck is cheesecake...a cake or a pie.  The world may never know!!  Don't even get me started on the English language.  I'm in a diction class right now learning how to speak and sing in different languages (including English).  It's RIDICULOUS!! I understand "i" before "e" except after "c", but that's not even scratching the surface.  Here's another...at night why do we say after dark, when in reality it is after light? Why do people ask you to "put your two cents in", but people ask "a penny for your thoughts"? What happened to the second penny?  Well that ought to be just about enough to hurt you brain.  I would like to make this a consistent type of post, so watch out for more confounding facts and questions!
