I just don't get it.

It doesn't look like an egg.
It doesn't taste like an egg.
There's no yokey type of thing inside.
Babies aren't grown from it.
So why is it called an eggplant?

moo

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have my family finance class.
It is in a BIG classroom in a building that is often used, therefore, when I'm going in, people are coming out, and when I'm coming out, people are going in (actual random question: what purpose does the "o" serve in the word "people?" Wouldn't "peeple" make more sense?).
The hallway and staircase leading to this room are small, not adequately equipped for 400 people to be milling around in.
Whenever I'm entering or exiting this class, the students around me remind me of herds of cattle.
Slow moving, but complaining that the person in front of them isn't moving.
I can just imagine how real it would seem if we moo'd instead of talking.

random question

I hate it when people misuse commonly used phrases.

Like, I could care less. The correct phrase is "I couldn't care less." If you could care less, well, then you care.

I had a teacher in high school who loved the phrase "needless to say."
"Yesterday I was walking and I saw a girl trip and fall. Needless to say, she was a student of mine."
What? If it was needless to say, we should have known it before you said it. We didn't know it, so it wasn't needless to say.

This is my new favorite: In my family finance class, there's a girl who likes to ask "random questions."
Like: "Random question, how do I budget when I'm living off loans?"
That's not a random question. We're in a finance class. Learning about budgeting. It is a completely relevant question. She asked at least 3 "random questions" in one class period.
