Weird Questions in the Middle of the Night

Do you ever get those weird burning questions in the middle of the night that make you wonder? Sometimes I do, like this:

Are people who are heavy black tea drinkers stained on the inside?

What's your burning the midnight oil question?

    i wonder late at night and when im in the dark deep valley of shadow
    i wonder if theres no such thing as bad or good forever
    i wonder if everything will have a wicked time in there eternity
    and everything has a good time in there eternity
    and whether everything is just timing and a moment
    in the eternal life of mixed justice and injustice
    and every dog has its day
    and every prince its doom
    and some is to be bound for a while
    then some unbound
    and a generation in eternity is coming
    and a generation in eternity is going
    and that all things are made to crack
    and all things are meant to be broken
    and all things are made to be strong
    and all things are made to be fixed
    and that this is the wheel of life
    and all its journeys dark and light
    mixed up for its own season and own time
    yes i wonder sometimes if bad is
    really bad to the person doing it
    without a malfuntion or cause
    just like good is
    yes theres some of my midnight
    oil burning

    Interesting/refreshing sounding beverage!

    My wife drinks about a gallon of black tea every day (well, maybe a little exaggeration, haha) iced or hot, and all her tea cups and her iced tea thermos mug are all tea stained so I got to thinking, I wonder if here insides look like that? :lol:

    Yeah it stains mugs and stuff pretty quick, I put Arnold palmer in a water bottle to take it to work with me when I had bought a jug of it, Arizona Tea makes it, and the bottle smells/tastes like the drink now you can't put anything else in it....lol

    I've actually just roughly measured Sebastian, he's about 2' long head to butt, stretched out. So factor in extra stretch and paw-span, he could probably easily stretch or to 3' when comfy. And I'm 5'2. So. I guess it kinda makes sense.

    Sometimes when my brain is like almost off and I'm about to fall asleep I'll get something interesting. Like the one night it was "will closely checking these groceries increase my likelihood of bowling a strike this frame?"

    Try it. Test out your hypothesis and tell us how it goes!

    My question for this late hour: If you cross from the northern hemisphere to the southern (or visa versa), does the stuff in your gut move down through your intestines in the opposite direction like water does in a tub when it goes down the drain? (Just what I need to think about before going to sleep- gross!)

    Why does it feel like the ceiling is an inch from my nose?

    Admittedly, that one hasn't happened in a couple decades, lol.

    Why? Did someone tell you to stop doing the high jump in the living room? Or did you finally ditch the bunk beds? Or, like me, are you starting to shrink?

    My question is always "Will the wife be angry with me and/or make me go sleep on the couch if I wake her up for a late night roll in the sheets?"
