I'm curious about nearly everything. The day I'm not puzzling over something is the day they'll find my lifeless body cooling off (probably with a quizzical expression on my face).
Sears horror story: How not to treat your customers.
I used to enjoy shopping at Sears (their appliance and tool departments, anyway), but for years now the miasma of inept, incompetent lameness that pervades their stores has pretty much kept me away.
"Target's full prices end in 9. So the first price tag will be $14.99 or $27.99, something like that.
Then, every time Target discounts the product, the final digit of the price drops.
The lowest the last digit will drop is 4.
If you see something you want at Target and the price ends in 4, buy it. The price won't go any lower."
Too cool, a robot pencil sharpener...sharpening a pencil winds the robot's spring, enabling him to walk around once the pencil is removed. Any house with this and me in it would soon have nothing but pencil stubs. :)
