Things in the universe I don't understand:

• Women who overpluck their eyebrows, and then pencil them in, at a slightly surprised angle
  
• How Primark can sell t-shirts for £2
  
• Compound interest. I mean I understand the principle, but I can't do the math(s)
  
• Arguments (of the argumentative kind, not the logical kind) - basically, any shade of broigus
  
• How you can make a non-fat honey cake that doesn't sink to the bottom of everyone's collective stomach (Ukrainian, apparently)
  
• How pressure cookers actually work (although that doesn't stop me using one)
  
• Where spiders come from
  
• Why my Sony Vaio still doesn't work/properly/is fairly tempermental
  
• Why I don't appear to be that bothered about it, anymore
  
• How people change. Even if you notice that they do
  
• Barbelith, a lot of the time
  
• And a bunch of other social networking thangs: Bebo, Myspace, Facebook. It's possible I'm just not.. social? Or networked?
  
• People who have three arrangements in an evening
  
• People who go to bed at 9pm
  
• People who stay up all night
  
• People who can't do quiet/alone time
  
• Anyone who doesn't read
  
• Whether I should keep putting money in my pension, or wether we're all doomed
  
• What'll happen, when The War comes
  
• Whether personal teshuva (repentance, fixing your personal relationships) can really work. It takes two, right?
  
• How I would survive on a chick-pea free diet
  
• If I'll ever get bored of the colour purple (colour, not book. I suspect not)
  
• What to do in an emergency...
