I have this theory that the symptoms of the common cold can be brought upon by a simple sneeze. To be clear, I don't think sneezing is the cause of a common cold. What I mean is that, if you already have the cold virus, I believe a sneeze is often the catalyst which signals to your body to start feeling things like a runny (or stuffy) nose, coughing, and so on.

I've experienced several instances where I was feeling fine until I sneezed, immediately after which I started feeling the effects of a cold. Now, I maybe a dolt but I'm not doltish enough to think sneezes cause colds. So I must have already been "sick" but just not been feeling it.

Now here's where my theory perhaps gets a bit far-fetched. I believe that had I not sneezed, I still would have had a cold but the symptoms would have been much less prominent or I could have delayed the onset of symptoms until much later.

Now since I'm not a doctor, the Internet is a great place to spread this type of pseudo-science. I'm hoping all of you believe my theory and tell your friends. Forward this post to your parents in an e-mail.

If you're ever on a motorbike traveling through Montana on the Interstate and your chain breaks, you can text me to get you the number for a Suzuki dealership near Helena. I will pretty much respond within five minutes.

Did you know that even though we live and work in completely different parts of the city, my sister and I take the same bus to work?

Yes, that's correct, we do indeed take the same bus. You might think that means I see my sister almost daily but that's not true unfortunately. While we do take the same bus, my sister takes it nearly three hours earlier than I do. I'm not even awake when she's off to work.

The other difference is that while she needs to travel a fair amount of distance to get to her place of employment, I'm only on that bus for less than ten minutes to get to the studio.

I sometimes joke that I'll wake up early one day so that we can both catch the same bus, just so we can be on that bus together for about ten minutes. Then I realize how early that would be. I think it's better if we just keep to our own schedules.

I'm going to completely phone in this post tonight by making it a "link" post. One of my favourite web sites, Cracked.com, has compiled a list of explanations for odd dog behaviours. This list includes why dogs eat their poop and why dogs sniff each others butts.

It's a good list. If you disagree, Cracked.com has a billion other lists for you to read.
