Oddest Observations thread
« on: 30 Sep 2012, 21:41 »

When you look at the list of who is online, my username is currently the first one. Fascinating.

Also, the instant the sun dipped below the horizon it became 15 degrees (Fahrenheit) colder in my room...

Apparently I still think I'm an undergrad, because I researched and wrote a nine page paper in one week.  That nine pages doesn't include the 2.5 page bibliography or cover page.


Now, I can't say the paper is any good (or that I'm going to get a passing grade), but dammit I finished it and submitted it on time! (with 5 minutes to spare...)

14 of the 50 threads on the front page of CHATTER have "thread" in the title, and out of those 14, 8 are in the top 10 threads in order of most-recently replied to.

If changed to sorted by amount of replies, there are now 16 threads with the word "thread" in the title, and 7 are in the top ten.

If changed to sorted by amount of views, there are now 18 threads with the word "thread," and and 7 are in the top ten.

My conclusion: threads that explicitly explain that they are thread will be inexplicably popular, whereas ones that don't scare and confuse the people of the internet, and are thus shunned (or and/or exiled).

Apparently it's a bad idea to swear while giving a speech for class.

And the type of speech you're giving.

And whether the swear word was used in its original meaning or its modern day vulgar meaning.

Most definitely vulgar, and yet I still got an A.  :-D

None of my debit cards share a number with any of my bank accounts... but my credit card does.  :? What is this I don't even...
