Weird to think things?

[n.s.c.m.]

Everynow and then I wonder if it's possible someone could read my thoughts, okay so that sounds crazy, but I like to scream "MONKEY SLUT!" loudly in my head to see if anyone reacts.

Yay, I'm not the only one who wonders about whether people are reading my thoughts or not!

OT: Weird is good, I once asked why we call burgers hamburgers when they're made of beef. There has to be a reason for it but I'm too lazy to look.

I had the same thought! ... about weed though.... while baked out of my mind

I called it the Adam and Eve strain

I do that ALL THE TIME.
I just don't often talk about them in front of people I don't quite know, so I wouldn't have said it with her boyfriend in the room. I'm shy I guess.

I think it's weird that people who are supposedly close to you would dismiss a thought of such articulate clarity. I think its weird that they heard something that you thought was important and did away with the notion by justifying that you were different than them. Let me tell you something my friends, not only does thinking like that make you "weird" it makes you superior! Too few people think critically, and if the ability to do so makes me weird, then I happy to be the weirdest freak of weirdsville.

Hamburger steak originated in the port city of Hamburg where Russian trade ships docked. The Russians shared some of their quisine, including a dish of ground beaf called steak tartare. In America when we finally got the stuff, we'd order it by asking for our steak "the Hamburg way." Hamburger means "from Hamburg." Frankfurter therefore means "from Frankfurt."

If that is true then why can't they call it Hamburger in the US (or so I've heard) if it doesn't contain Ham?

I've thought of some pretty insane stuff, you're not alone.
But I'm weird, so maybe it is. Who knows.

Well a few years ago an ex best friend of mine and me had a three hour long conversation about what created the universe, what exactly we mean by the universe and what exists outside the universe. Does that count as weird?

Is there such a thing as an evil giraffe?

Did you even read? Ham from a pig has nothing to do with the name, it's named after the place that made ground beef patties famous. I can't vouch for why the place was named Hamburg though.

Eh, I do that a lot too. Just think about weird things and question things that nobody bothers to question. It's one thing to be suspicious of the government, and another thing entirely to be wondering how they get that smooth, glossy surface on some kinds of card. Now, I wouldn't ask a question like that in my philosophy class, but I'd definitely ask your question about what a dog actually is.

I got thinking while reading your post.

That theory of Plato is actually an interesting read if you've looked into it. To put it in a more simple explanation, Terry Pratchett explained in the Tiffany Aching series which contained the "White Horse" drawn in chalk that it's not what a horse it, it's what a horse be [sic]. As in the essence of horsiness which remains when the physical is stripped away.

Same with dog. In a more evolutionary answer, wolves.

I am believed to be weird by those close if only because I know too much random trivia or ...too much in general. There has yet to be a situation my sister hasn't dismissed on the grounds of my "weirdness".
I don't believe your question to be weird seeing as many others thought of it and it's a natural albeit philosophical inquiry.

So I was visiting my sister last night to meet her boyfriend of the moment (can't even say week with her), and after the meal we were sitting in the lounge room having a cup of coffee and my sister and one of her friends were talking about a dog one of them got and suddenly this thought popped into my head, which I voiced.

"What's a dog?" I asked, and then clarified at the strange looks I got, "I mean what's a real dog? You get different breeds by choosing the traits you want and cross breeding to get them, and when you've got what you want, say for example a German Shepard, you start breeding true, humans have been doing that to dogs and other animals for thousands of years, but what is the real dog, what's the one closest to what dogs were before we started mucking around with them?"

Everyone sort of looked at me, and then my sister said "Ignore him he's always been weird" and they all laughed. I grinned and ignored it, making a mental note to look up the dog thing when I got home (still need to do that), but it has made me ponder something else.

Is thinking about stuff like that weird? Is find stuff like that interesting and wanting to have a conversation about stuff like that weird?

If so are you weird? and also why the hell would anyone want to be normal, sounds boring.

Its not weird, in fact I believe people are doing research on exactly that.

Fact is that dogs are some of the more genetically diverse creatures on this planet. No other species have that many races.

I wouldn't be surprised that there wasn't just one "proto dog" but several different, that could breed with each other.

 

[Nopodop]

Yes and No. in the normal sense it isn't. Weird means abormal, odd, etc. so it is at the same time.

No I did read, and I understand that's where the word came from, I've also heard an often told story about silly American law (I honestly don't know if it's true or not) is that you can't sell something a Hamburger if it doesn't have Ham in it, which sort of made sense when I thought the word had something to do with Ham, now that as you said it's to do with a city, it just boggles the mind.

I suppose it's like when they had to rename Dragon Sausages in Wales, because they didn't have Dragon in them... in that common sense has little to do with the law.
