Of all the items I’ve ever lost since childhood that I thought were really important to me then, I often wonder how many of those I would actually recognize or remember if I saw them now.

A Roy Rogers lunchbucket is a Roy Rogers lunchbucket. Isn't it indelibly etched in your mind?

It should be, by rights.. did you lose the thermos too?

Thankfully, I still have them both as we had the thermos tack-welded to the inside of it just to prevent that very catastrophe.

I could never use the thermos again for obvious reasons, but I still have it!

Helpful hint: If anyone decides to do the same to theirs for Antique Roadshow purposes et al., please make sure to empty the thermos first, OK?

Why does 73 degree air feel pleasant, but a swim in 73 degree water feel unpleasant?

Water, like humans, is subject to a mob mentality and "group think". In small quantities it acts benevolently and wants to give us life. In larger concentrations however, it looks for every opportunity to deliver death....

An analogous concept is Charles Bukowski's one-question intelligence test: There are two lines, one long and one short. Which do you get in?

Analogous concept regarding weed:

You happen to meet a total stranger who has two different strains and offers you a bowl from one of their baggies that they bought at the same time, but won't offer any info on which one is better.

One is almost filled to the top, the other is half it's size.

Is the big one bigger because it was so good he didn't need much of it, or it was crap and he didn't like it?

On the other hand, is the small one smaller because it's better and he couldn't get enough of it, or he needed need much more of it because its crap?

I'm not sure I know the answer to that riddle, but my work-around would of course be to smell each bag in turn.
