Three Completely Random Things

Yes, the title pretty much says it all. Here they are.

Number One:

Why is it that we talk about who stars “in” a movie, but then we talk about who’s “on” a TV show?

Movie Example: That one guy in Beerfest was funny. TV Example: She plays Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica. See what I mean? Here are two more. Kiefer Sutherland was in A Few Good Men and Kiefer Sutherland is on 24.  Why the difference?

For that matter, why do people ask what’s playing “at” the theater, when they really mean to ask what’s playing “in” the theater? Related to that, why do we then ask what’s “on” TV or even “on” the radio? And furthermore, why do we park on a driveway and drive on…oh, never mind.

Number Two:

Why does a Google search for the phrase “peaceful hindu blog” return a list of results with StM as the third? Are there really no actual peaceful Hindu blogs available to fill that spot?

Number Three:

Why do foodies insist upon using bacon in everything?
