April Useless Observations

Hey everyone,

Rosario Dawson’s ex-boyfriend held the United States Senate floor for 25 straight hours this week and no, this isn’t an April Fools joke. But since we’ve made it to the month of April, it’s time for yet another installment of Useless Observations. Last month’s installment can be found here. Let’s get started before the New York Yankees invent more bowling pin bats.

• UO #1: Is it possible to believe in luck without superstition? I think luck and chance are very real, but I don’t feel very superstitious.

• UO #2: If you turn on the vent in the bathroom after taking the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl, what does that actually do? Does it bring in new air? Does it send dirty air out of the bathroom? Or is it truly a placebo effect?

• UO #3: I hate that music and films and everything related to Black people is given the Urban category. At least the Grammys got their act together and renamed their Best Urban Contemporary Album category.

• UO #4: It gives me the ick that while sports gambling is becoming legalized across the country, it also coincides with an increasing number of banks that let you access your paycheck a few days early.

• UO #5: It must’ve been so strange to eat the first peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
