Things that make me wonder

Why doesn't anybody comment on Temptation Island?
I hope there is a vast majority who has no idea what i am talking about so I'll explain;
a couple (who in the world is dumb enough to actually do this?) goes off to this exotic island together with 3 or 4 other couples. Men and women are divided. The men go to a place where there are about 10 beautiful women doing anything to seduce them (and let's face it, with men that doesn't take much) and the women go to a place where there are 10 hunks waiting for them. Every action is on film.
All this "to see if our relationship can stand the test"
Sure enough all the men end up in at least dubious situations or just plain in bed making out and more.
The women, after seeing their boyfriends go loose (every week both parts see their partner on video having fun), decide to do the same.
Now excuse me, but
A. who could ever decide to "test" his relationship like this.
B. how do you sell it to your girlfriend
C. don't they have any friends with a grain of brain?
D. how come nobody sees the whores (male and female) on the island for what they are
E. how come after the first episode there are still girls who agree to go with their friend to Tempation Island

How come there are whole countries out there i had never heard of untill recently?
Apparently after the revolution in Georgia (did you know their president has a Dutch wife?
You're right, has nothing to do with it), other former Soviet states are roaring. And i only know of Georgia because we had an aupair who came from their capital Kiev. (i remember us talking about large cities in the Netherlands; i think we mentioned Amsterdam had almost a million people. She smiled; turned out Kiev had several millions. Why don't i know these things?)
Take Izgizia. That is definitely a country i had never heard of.
Next to Oezbekistan (pardon?) and Afghanistan. Central Asia is not my geographical favorite.

And why do countries change their names?
Ok Kongo became Zaïre. But Tjechoslovakia became Slovakia and what else? And if forgot which country it is, but somewhere in Japan or China or so, they are changing a city's name.

Or why is there always a bird shitting on my drapes when i dry them outside.
Always.

And what is happening to R.?
Remember the dinner with friends i talked about couple of weeks ago?
He took out this dish from the oven and got stuck to it.
Nothing new here, happens every other day.
But we're 4 weeks further now and his hand still looks a mess.
And not only that but he's getting these strange plague-looking sores on his legs and hands.
We've both been tested on HIV several times (WHAT ??!!). Yes, when you want to buy a house of a certain amount or close a life-insurance (which we did both) the bank wants to be pretty sure you don't die on them too soon.
We came out negative (that's when you're OK isn't it?) but otherwise i would have had serious doubts by the way R. looks right now.
He's been to the doctor's yesterday, got some antibiotics and has to have his blood tested on Tuesday.
To be continued.
