I'm wondering why some verbs are used the way they are.
For example, the verb "take."
Why do we say, "I'm going to take a nap?" It's not like I am going to physically lift up a nap and remove it from it's current location and proceed to relocate it to another place. The same with "take a bath." Uh-oh, watch out, stand guard over your tub, because someone is going to TAKE A BATH!!!
Now the phrase "take a meal" makes sense to me. Particularly if you are actually, physically, taking a meal to someone who is sick or has just had a baby or something. Also the phrase "take a time out" because you are taking TIME away from another task. That's perfectly OK.
Yes. These are the sorts of things I think about during the day. Particularly while I am taking a dump.
ROFL!!!!

I am somewhat in shock that you, my sister, just mentioned your defecating habits to your readers...my sista is comin' outa her shell!
I'm a huge English nerd, as you already know, and I think about this stuff constantly.
I don't think you're weird for it at all! :-)
I have some of the best thoughts in the loo.
I was a little startled as well. :)
