A word to the wise and those full of wonder.

The evolution: The 8 wonders were born during my college days where the number one consistent wonder was what in the world I did all day. From there a weekly ranking of random things that I in all my spare time of 12 credits had time to ponder.

A couple disclaimers.

I by no means claim to be funny. My friends who laughed were also mostly in college, mostly hungover, and mostly found any sort of AIM profile by a girl that lacked a sappy love quote to deserve a slight chuckle. So should you fall into that fan base, or are drunk as you read this, please, read on.

I also, by no means, claim to be accurate. If I had any due diligence as a reporter I would probably do some research into what the actual wonders of the world really are. But alas, I don't know them and am too lazy to google it, yahoo it, or call for an assistant. The extent to my base of knowledge on the matter sources back to the movie Over Board where Patrick Swayze builds a miniature golf course about the wonders of the world. I feel like there where some pyramids and mountains amidst Goldie Hawn and a wicked shoe closet, but again, I do not cry genius.

Finally: I challenge you to challenge me. I double dare you. Bring it. If you disagree, can clarify anything, or have some wonder you would like to share, then please don't be shy, anything goes in the wonderful world of wonder and what not.

The 8 wonders of the world/ mysteries of the world

1. Drive through liquor stores. I think it sends mixed messages.

2. President Fillmore. He existed.

3. Vice presidents that have time to go quail hunting. I mean must be nice. Even more mysterious. Vice presidents that have time to shoot people while they are shooting quails.

4. Canada has territories? Canada exists?

5. Personalized license plates that are inside jokes and/or involve the word cutie or princess. If I'm stuck behind your car I would at least like to chuckle at the license plate and not sit there trying to figure out some dorky joke known only to you.

6. Why the presidential election isn't like American idol. Call in to vote, save the lines at the booth.

7. People who buy the lazy dog ladder so it can get up in bed with you, if your dogs legs are too short and fat to get up there on its own then tough luck.

8. The interview process for an escort? Wouldn't you like to work in human resources?

The 8 wonders/mysteries of the world: food

1. Why no one has made chocolate covered Swedish fish.

2. Half of what's in my fridge

3. Expiration dates, should they be strictly enforced? Or is it just recommended? I mean unless it curdles right?

4. A bag of popcorn has 110 calories un popped but is 100 calories once it's popped. Apparently it burns off 10 calories while popping.

5. Beef Jerky.

6. Half of the products they sell/have in 7-11 (see number 5) and how long it has been there (likely defying number 3.)

7. Go-gurt and or any other solid form food that is forced into a tube, string cheese, number 5, squeezable peanut butter? It's just not natural.

8. What I would do without a microwave.

The 8 wonders of the road. For your road trip enjoyment.

1. No parking on the highway signs.
2. Truck's blind spots.
3. How I manage to get anywhere safely by myself.
4. Watch for falling rocks signs.
5. What the hell I would do if #4 actually happened.
6. How's my driving signs on trucks? I've called the 1800 number- it's a hoax.
7. What a backseat driver I am.
8. How much gas I get after the light comes on.
