A few of the questions I ask myself actually have empirical answers, like this one: what is the degree of correlation between the length of a word, and the frequency of its occurence? You'd want to measure both the number of letters and number of syllables. And get big samples of text in various styles: formal, casual, oral, writen, etc. But overall, I suspect that the coefficient would be quite high.
I can count on one hand the number of sunny days in the past two months. But today, by some one-in-a-million conjunction of atmospheric conditions and solar geometry, there was sunlight on my cubicle. For about five minutes, but still startling. I didn't even know what many of my neighbors looked like in natural light. I'll have to mark this date on my calendar for next year.
Wierd: I got a text message from a number I don't recognize in Tampa. An empty text message. Huh?...

natural light is forbidden!
we've been having the sun shine in during class because it's setting earlier. that's probably the same thing you've got happening.
