why does "stat" mean hurry up in a hospital?
I just found out that 99.5% of all American households own a refrigerator. I also found out that the Hawaiian alphabet has 12 letters. This brings up two important questions - 1. Why would 1/2 of 1 percent of the population not have a fridge. If I lived in a city of 100,000 people, that means that 500 People in my city would be fridgeless. How does that happen? I even had a fridge in my dorm room in college. I'm broke as a joke and I have the old dorm fridge, a regular one & a full sized freezer that we bought at a garage sale for thirty bucks. Maybe I'm part of the problem. Now I'm wondering if I should start a refrigerator ministry and give them away. hmmm...

And what's the deal with a Hawaiian alphabet? Aren't they one of our 50 states? It seems like they'd stick with English - kindda like the other 49. I know in Ireland there are about 50 people who speak Gaelic...but that's just kind of a fun little cultural oddity. They basically have joined Ohio, Rhode Island and the rest of us on this English speaking thing.

There are people who are decendants of "native" hawaiians (no one anywhere is really a native) who are pushing legislation granting them an autonomous government and sovereign territory (like "native" Americans).
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, "native" only means "got here first".
