Yes, this is what my brain is like.

Weird thoughts I've had lately:

-Could diet and exercise end the recession?

My teacher posited: Heart disease can usually be treated efficiently by diet and exercise. Heart disease is really expensive, so stopping it would dramatically lower the cost of healthcare.

Reasoning: Heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S. Heart disease is usually caused by atherosclerosis. The risk of atherosclerosis can be reduced by about 50% by eating cold water fish. Exercise can help reduce the plaque already there

My leap of logic: would lowering the cost of healthcare be enough to end the recession in some way?

If anyone finds out it could and writes a best-seller about it, you owe me a percentage!


-Good idea for a store: custom-made shoes; or having shoes not sold in pairs.

Reasoning: my feet don't match. I think my right is about a half-size bigger than my left. I can usually have my feet fit in a same-size pair, but it's annoying. And buying two pairs of shoes, a half-side apart, seems rather silly. As does wearing different socks. So, shoes that are custom-made; or that I can buy one in one size and one in the other, would be really nice.

If anyone knows of a store like this, give me their website. If there isn't one, and someone uses this idea, you owe me a percentage, dammit!

For now, I guess I'll just go with different thickness of socks. *shrug*
