Tetris of the Caribbean

Sometimes, when I play Tetris, I play music from "Pirates of the Caribbean," so that it seems more monumental and less like I'm wasting my life.

Half 'n' Half

I am half centaur, half human.

The Unexpected

You know how they always tell you to expect the unexpected? That's a load. If you expect the unexpected, then you're expecting it, so it's the expected not the unexpected. The saying should be, "Always expect the expected."
Then again, that's a little redundant and doesn't get the point of the expression across. So let's go with this: "Always expect what typically wouldn't be expected in order to prevent it from being the unexpected."

Also.
You know that whole "You miss every shot you don't take" thing? Again: a load.
You can't miss a shot you don't take. I mean, if you don't take it, you can't make it, but that doesn't mean you miss it. That's the whole point of taking a shot: so that you don't miss it. People don't take shots because there's an element of risk, and they're afraid they'll miss. As a result, they refrain from taking a shot so that they don't miss.

Taxation

Hey, I was wondering... do they charge tax on gumballs from gumball machines? I mean, it's what, 25 cents?
So, let's suppose the gumball machine owner buys the gumballs to fill his/her gumball machine at 17 cents each.
Is he/she actually charging, say, 23 cents a gumball, with 2-cent tax? So then, of the 25 cents made for each gumball, 17 of that was to buy it, 2 goes to the government, and the owner gets to pocket the 6-cent profit.
Or does the government find gumball machines too inconsequential to bother charging tax, giving the gumball machine owner an 8-cent profit on each 17-cent gumball?
Hmm....

It's thoughts like these that make the world go 'round.
