I quite often have random thoughts, usually visually stimulated. Like when I see two dogs walk by on opposite sides of the street, i think do they have their own nod hello? 

 

How high could I jump/fall from before I couldn't land without hurting myself.

 

Who was the first person to eat some of the random foods in the world? who would see a snail and think I'm guna eat that? And how the fvck did they pursued others to follow suit?

 

What would life be like if I was born in a different country? 

 

Random crap like that.

Who decided what word would be each word? Like “video” for example. Who looked at that and went.... it’s a video....

When it comes to English words, chances are it’s an idea stolen from at least one other language;

 

1935, as visual equivalent of audio, from Latin video "I see," first person singular present indicative of videre "to see" (see vision). As a noun, "that which is displayed on a (television) screen," 1937.

At least twice during it's flight, an aircraft will be 1,000,000 of an inch off the ground.

 

That's my random thought and amazing fact.

Similarly I've always wondered what blind people dream about, especially those born without vision. Are their dreams just sounds?

When I'm driving I think how easy it could be for me to just swerve about and cause some mayhem. Obviously I don't but then I do wonder how often it could happen to me(someone else swerving about just for fun etc). Then I realise I could drive down any street in Leicester and realise it for myself with the way some people drive

Particularly Melton Road, dodging all those illegally parked cars

The first person to milk a cow. What was he doing? What did he think he was doing, and Why??

It's something that plays on my mind.

 

I also wonder when the last time I ever 'played out' with my mates or when did I stop playing with toys? Did I wake up one day and just stop. 

 

(Incidentally now I have kids I probably play with kids toys just as much as I did as a child).

There's no way that's true.  I'd say more than 50% of the time the random made-up tune accompanying my final moments of sleep is what lasts longest in my memory before being inevitably erased like the rest of the night's fabrications.

One day you and a mate went out to play, for the last time and neither of you knew it at the time.

You could swerve into oncoming traffic and uncouple their seatbelt at the same time. Although it might be a bit awkward if they survive.
