Now, I know my famous answer could make me rich, but what kind of person would I be if I got rich off of a cure that was only available to those who have the money?
That's your ponderable? That's pretty weak.
I'd say you were a normal person for getting rich off of that. I mean you don't even have to take advantage of people much. You know how many people get cancer? Cause I sure don't but I'm thinking it's a bunch. So, you wouldn't have to charge too much to get rich off of that. $100 per procedure and you're golden.

I'm it and I have no ponderables that aren't grumpy-ass rants.
Why does IT do an upgrade and not warn everyone? (Came into new software at 7am with no warning.)
Why are co-workers so annoying?
Why can't adults figure out how to use the freakin' phone book to look up the number for a physician? They had to look up my number to call me for the number of a doctor that is 150 miles away from me. If I can find it with no phone book, certainly they can find it with one. 
I think I need to go find a corner to sit in today. Or maybe find something to rant about on my blog on myspace. That usually puts me in a good mood.

Yah for rants.
We had something similar, RB. They didn't send us the notice of the install of new software done last night until about 2 pm yesterday.

Holy thread killer, batman. Yikes. I'm shirking my responsibilities. Must think of something jazzy enough that people actually want to reply. Oh, the pressure. Oh, the blank brain space. Grrr. Argh.

If they weren't, they wouldn't be co-workers, they'd be friends.

People are lazy. And stupid. And lots of other things.

I could post fifty times to make it look like there is some action...or make it look like I'm very, very crazy.
Oh, maybe there is a ponderable in that (or not, we'll see). What activity/behaviour in your life do you consider 'normal' that others see and categorize as quirky or downright crazy?

I don't wear shoes unless I absolutely have to.
Monday I organized my spices alphabetically.
I'm sure there are several more ...

Ha there are plenty.
Easiest one off the bat is slightly unsettling love of Joss Whedon. All the Firefly, Serenity parites, the Firefly marathon at the drafthouse, the 10 episodes of buffy starting at 11pm thing at the drafthouse, all the can't stop the Serenity screenings, the Serenity prescreenings, the Firefly showings in the back of a coffe house, the Firefly/Buffy comics and soon to be Angel comics, etc.
Then there's how cheap I am about most things. Constantly checking slickdeals for cool things on sale. Keepings a tally sheet of times I skip going out to lunch and put the money away toward a wii game or something else I want. I think I just have a weird issue about spending money on me. I just always feel like "I didn't really need that".
My "anti-social"ness. I weigh going out pretty poorly compared to staying home most of the time. Unless there's a girl involved I usually don't see the opportunity cost being in favor of going out. I mean most of going out just seems like killing time to me. "Let's all go to a club with loud music where we can't talk and stand around and grow older together! YAY!!". Um...no thanks.
I'd say those are among my top three.
EDIT:
oh oh I also don't get traveling. "Hey look the statue of liberty!" Um yeah I've seen pictures and seen it in movies. Heck it's actually smaller than I thought it would be in real life. Booooring.
