I think it's amusing...
When your brain gets bored and just kinda wanders. It's the kind of thing that happens when you're trying to relax and think about nothing. I was sitting in my car yesterday and I just happened to look down at the gas gauge and think, "what would happen if a big car manufacturer like Honda just decided to switch the E and F" How confused would people be? Wait, it's empty...no no, it's full. hrm hrm. Something so simple, that we're so accustomed to, that we don't even think about. The E and the F. Symbols are fascinating to me. You can get into a car anywhere in the world and most likely locate the gas gauge and some letter resembling E and F...and even though you cannot speak the language, atleast you know whether your gas tank is full. (and even if the gas tank happens to be reversed, it's easy enough to use powers of deduction to determine the direction in which the arrow continuously decreases - there's your empty side....logic and simplicity make a nice pair)
