Time for a smile? Here are 20 Little Mysteries of Life. If you know of any better ones (that will also be meaningful in the UK), then please feel free to suggest them and I will update weak mysteries with better ones.

1) Why some Amazon Associates offer used copies of books at up to twice the price of new ones.
2) Why anyone would buy used copies of books at more than new copies.
3) Why celebs you haven't heard of for years are so 'in your face' once they've published their autobiography.
4) Why no one ever parks in Coronation Street unless it is time for their car's annual outing.
