I saw something similar to this in an email a while back, so I thought I'd bring it here.

It is kind of like the 'Have you ever' thread, except with 'Why is it' ;) I guess it is sort of things to ponder. Post funny things, odd things, or whatever ... you don't have to answer or comment unless you want to, but you have to post another 'Why is it' Here is mine ...

Why is it when you scratch/rub your eye to comfort an itch, it makes it worse?!

But why is that, as soon as you get your hands completely dirty your nose starts to itch?

Brian and I tend to be like that. I want to snuggle and cuddle in the morning, but he wants to do it at night. Now when it comes to "other" activities, its the opposite.
