Wednesday Meme--Weird Ones

1. Besides candy what else would be good to put in a pinata?
Money--dollar bills so the pinata wouldn't be too heavy to lift. For adults, little plastic "airplane" sized bottles of liquor, but then you wouldn't be able to hang the pinata too far off the ground, either. Keys to a car--only one would work and the winner would get the car.

2. If there was a product called Jellophane what would it do? What would be its pluses and minuses? It would be a stretchable gelatin that covers fruit, keeping it fresh in the fridge for a few extra days. You could wrap it around personal-sized fruit salads, tying it with an edible ribbon, eliminating the need for plastic wrapping and reducing the amount of trash, because you could carry it and eat the whole package--like a fruit-salad wrap.

3. There is a saying that 'Hope springs eternal. What does charity spring? Continuity--of life. I never understood the "hope springs eternal" saying, anyway.

4. What is the best thing to come from Asia. How about Europe? now what about North America, South America, Australia, and Africa. All of Asia?? That's quite a lot of choices. Maybe technology through mass production. Europe--food. North America--Innovation; competition. South America--color, bright, festive color, and food. Austrailia--penguins. Africa--again, so much to choose, but I think the most important thing from Africa is that this continent's people made the world aware of the need for a conscience in interactions. The need for charity, for one thing. These are the things that came off the top of my head. Not a great deep thinker, am I.

5. Why do kids always seem to get scrapes on their knees, but not on their backs? Because kids fall a lot--they fall forward, not always backward, and their knees and hands are the first to make contact with the surface below. When they fall backward, their heads or derrieres are the first to make contact, not their backs.
