Friday Fix #39 - Meet Jenny!

The Friday Fix is a takeover of my Friday blog post by other bloggers who have volunteered their time and energy to "star" in their very own guest post on Friday. Only one mandatory rule (you can't get out of it!) - you must answer five of the most random questions I throw your way. The rest is up to you. Remember, if you'd like to be featured on the Friday Fix, send me an email, and let me know! So, without further ado, here is Jenny from Supernatural Snark!

The Most Random Questions in the World...

1. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, how are there still monkeys and apes?

Wow, this question makes my head hurt a little. I’m not sure I’m smart enough to adequately answer this question, but I’ll give it a go! I’m guessing there are still monkeys and apes because not every single member of each species evolved, perhaps certain ones were more genetically prone to evolving while others remained as the native species. Plus, as the evolution occurred, I’m sure there was some sort of species reproductive barrier so monkeys and apes were still making little monkeys and apes as the other evolving groups began reproducing with one another and continued on the evolutionary path.

That was a really long, convoluted answer. Sorry!

2. Why are boxing rings called "rings" if they're square?

Good question. I’m thinking they’re square because if they were circular, the fighters wouldn’t have any place to rest in between rounds, they’d just wander around the outside of the ring continuously looking for a place to stop, but there wouldn’t be one. So in the interest of the fighter’s sanity and to keep them from walking in never-ending circles in search of a corner to relax in, they made the “rings” square.

3. Why do you have to sterilize equipment used for a lethal injection?

I’ve always wondered about this! I’m guessing they want to give them their rights as a human being–to be treated with sanitary medical care despite the fact they’re about to die. If I were the person administering the lethal injections, it could give me a little, and I mean a very little, peace of mind to know I was medically professional even if the result was still death. Whew, that question was a bit of a downer!

4. There are guided missiles, so does that mean the military has misguided missiles, too?

I’m sure in the long history of the military they’ve had some wayward missiles, but I don’t like to think about that. I prefer to stay in my happy little bubble where I know they are all smarter than me when it comes to weaponry and that they’ll sort any misguided missiles out :)
5. Why is it called "tourist season" if it's illegal to shoot them?

 

Well, as much as I’m sure many of the people who live in touristy areas often fantasize about inflicting pain on the tourists that swarm their hometowns, I think season more refers to a time of year as opposed to an open invitation to hunt. Right?
