Random randomness

--I think the person who invented the treadmill had an epiphany one day when he went the wrong way on an escalator.

--That would be cool if, instead of knobs, showers just had an on/off switch, and when you flip the switch, the water would come out in that one uniform temperature everyone likes. This would semi-appease my contention that the cold-water knob in showers does not need to exist.

--This week's unsung hero: the contestant on The Price Is Right who, years ago, bid $951 when the person before him bid $950. Easily one of history's brightest minds.

--Rappers are lucky that Benjamin Franklin was put on the $100 bill, because "it's all about the Benjamins" sounds cool. What if it was Millard Fillmore? Or Woodrow Wilson? Or Herbert Hoover?
It's all about the Millards. It's all about the Woodrows. It's all about the Herberts.
Doesn't work.

--Sunday was a great day for the Buffalo Bills. Drew Bledsoe threw for 276 yards and three touchdowns, Eric Moulds caught 8 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown, and Travis Henry rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns in Buffalo's 45-3 win over Oakland.
Wait, that was the game of Madden I played after the real-life Bills played like a bunch of pansies and lost Sunday and forced me to take my frustrations out on a damn video game.
I love football.

--Sign that I shouldn't make any more bets this season: My friends and I started a suicide pool (basically a contest in which you pick one team per week to win; if your pick loses, you're eliminated. The last man standing wins), and after Week 2, we already have a winner.

--Another difference between men and women: Shortly before takeoff on my flight back to New York, the girl sitting next to me tapped me on my arm and said, "OK, just to warn you beforehand, I pee A LOT, meaning I go to the bathroom frequently, so I'll probably have to ask you more than a few times to get up so I can go and pee. Is that OK?"
I can't imagine that a guy would ever say that.

--Finally, two of my friends had this exchange yesterday:
"Hey, do you wanna meet up tomorrow to watch the season premiere of One Tree Hill? We can bring popcorn and everything."
"Let's do it."
Alright, so maybe these two guys might've made that comment about the bathroom.
