No no no. What's *really* unnecessary is your appendix. It's only useful for giving you the tummyache from heck. :D

Those blower things that gardener's use.
They don't do anything. They just blow the leaves or the dirt or the trash from one spot to another. Usually from the neighbors, into my yard.

Someone became rich off that idea, dammit.

Bump!=)

Spam.

I've never tried it before...is it any good? (Not the kind I post here, I mean the food kind.)

the show, "The Swan". I mean, how desperate do you need to be? If you're that unhappy you need counsiling, not an entire body job.

I want there to be a "The Swan II, I still hate myself" where they revisit these people in 12-18 months to see if they are glad they did it or not.

In defense of Spam, its actually made of parts of the pig people regularly eat. Its actually good fried.

Souse loaf aka head cheese is a different matter. What is it made of? Lets just say that the dumpsters out back of the factory are never empty.:)

- people who push to get on elevators before the people who need to have gotten off

- why so many people these days seems to be using the phrase "at the end of the day" all the time

- people who don't use their chat history then shout at you like you didn't answer them because they didn't see any of the 6 or 8 times you did answer them and they've been doing this for months even though everybody has told them for months to put their chat history on

- rate miners -- is it for money? or is it because they think everybody will think they're popular and/or talented even though you can easily tell looking at profiles who rate mines and who doesn't?

- armpit hair fetishes

- insensitivity

- my birthmark. most of the edges are all raggedy and uneven and then where the exact middle of my body is it so abruptly and perfectly ends in a straight line. I get that. The part I don't get is why I've never seen or heard of anyone else with a birthmark like mine (meaning where it is). It's so cool.

- Avon, Tupperware, Mary Kay, and Amway

- non-dairy coffee creamer

- uvulas (or whatever the plural is)

OMG yes

Vanity and superficiality at it's best! Could there be any better an example of the popular "MEMEMEMEME" attitude? You know that anyone invovled in shows like that, and those who watch it (including my frikkin sister), are just about as uninformed as you can get. It's a damn shame. I don't get that either.

I don't 'get' that with elevators either.

An interesting tale on the side, a tutor at college who runs a management module I just finished was talking about body language. His story was how people packed into elevators try their absolute hardest to look at anything neutral like a wall or a blank space but *never* each other. The reasoning is personal space, and people feel very uncomfortable in crowded areas when it's breeched. So one day he stood right in front of a packed elevator and just smiled at the people in it, getting very scared looks and darting eyes in return...

The way he told it was hilarious :D

LOL Great thread :D

Spam - the email variety not the food variety

Virus writers

People that won't sit next to anyone on a train if there is a spare spot with no on there. So you end up with loads of seats taken up with just one person.

I didn't get land for a long time, but trying to build in the sandbox with morons around, sim lag, and crashes, I "got it" quick enough. Too bad I never managed to find land. lol

That's the 'personal space' issue again...it's a psychological thing, most people hate being sat so close to a stranger if they can help it :) Same reason if there's a huge row of urinals and two blokes, often one will go to one end of the row and the other will go to the opposite end. If a third person arrives they will pick the middle etc
