Ever Wonder Why...


We here at Giant Lists relish in the little idiosyncrasies of modern life. You see, most of the aphorisms people spout off and many of the truths they hold to be self-evident actually make us cock our heads and furrow our brows. So, while our prime directive is to amuse our readers, we also hope to expand your mind along the way - we've designed this list to do just that. Take a look, and prepare to have your minds blown.

The working class insists on voting against their interests?

People are so quick to give their deity of choice the credit when something good happens in their life, but when something bad happens it couldn't possibly be that same deity's fault?
