This doesn't sound reasonable. It means the average person spend 2.4 hours per day waiting in lines.

People, people, we're getting horribly mixed up here.

Firstly, Sib, facts, not jokes.

Also, Shana, that's not really relevant; PK, that's not a fact.

Dragon, I agree with Dottie, that doesn't sound right, also, I'd say that the amount of sunlight time we have left doesn't count as a pointless fact.

Please don't use sources for pointless facts.

I've already yelled at Rav for this.

Don't cheat, it's a terrible habit.

Those are far from pointless.

JonIrenicus · Post by **JonIrenicus** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 5:48 pm

How so o,o?

Damuna_Nova · Post by **Damuna_Nova** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 5:50 pm

Well, a pointless fact is one that you don't really need to know.

The ones you posted are things you would need to know.

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 5:51 pm

Perhaps you could post a list of all pointless facts that it is acceptable to post, as well as the allowed sources. That way no one have to risk posting something erranous in this thread.

Order is a good thing.

JonIrenicus · Post by **JonIrenicus** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 5:52 pm

You don't need to know any of those in life hence pointless o,o

Damuna_Nova · Post by **Damuna_Nova** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 6:00 pm

I disagree, I believe that you definately need to be aware of your own mortality, and to follow this up you need to know what will kill you, and you also need to know roughly how commonly people take in substances such as pot and alcohol. It's a social thing, and we're social animals.

JonIrenicus · Post by **JonIrenicus** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 6:04 pm

We will have to agree to disagree then =p

All in the eye of the beholder ^_^

Damuna_Nova · Post by **Damuna_Nova** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 6:09 pm

Well my eye happens to be that of the game maker, so agreeing to disagree would mean that you don't post.
