I want to go see the triangle elevator! Bizarre and antiquated elevators are fun to me (not that they are fun for anyone with mobility issues).
I do not want to go see the racist hot dog cart, though. Ugh.

#21, My smoke detector set on fire, happened to me. We hear the alarm going off and ran to see what was happening, and the DETECTOR ITSELF was on fire AND GOING OFF so at least its dying act was to alert us to its own electrical failure. However, this does not make up for the fact that it is a smoke detector that set itself on fire.

No, the crying of lot 49 is because the adhesive on commercial bathroom dispensers is so much stronger than the wall it is attached to. So if it stops working you just leave it and put another one next to it.

#36 is something I would do to my wife. Whenever I put something down on the coffee table, if it's not completely on the table, she'll push it so it is. So I often purposely balance things on the edge of the table just to, well, just to fuck with her. I have occasionally placed a few things on the edge of the table for her to find.
She does similar things to me. After 19 years you gotta add some spice to your relationship.

That strawberry phenomenon is an example of viviparous germination.
Don't know in strawberries, but in other fruiting bodies (tomatoes, watermelons) abscisic acid (ABA) is a common chemical inhibitor; there are gene mutants that affect the synthesis/accumulation/timing of ABA. Dunno if there are external environmental factors that affect ABA or induce viviparity through other mechanisms.
