    Good idea, save 30 seconds but corrupt files and damage the PC. There's a reason there's a shut down feature.

    Pencils don't have lead anymore anyway. It's graphite and clay powder.

    Would getting engaged several times be pointless too or is a grey area?

    The prompts online that ask if you have read the terms and conditions of something.

    The 'Confirm you are 18 by clicking yes' prompts.

    Prompts. Prrrompts.

    Tour de france,

    why, because you don't like cycling?
    It's the biggest annual sports event in the world, 15m spectators along the roads alone, never mind the 3.5bn people who watch it on tv.
    Hardly any more pointless than the soccer world cup or Olympics or any sport for that matter.

    Yeah, you're right. The Olympics. Certain sports appear there that you only ever see every 4 years (at most).

    Grudges , hatred , cruelty, bitterness.

    These are useless.

    Anger is useful, the others are not.

    That is hatred. Maybe Anger to some point.

    “Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” ― Gautama Buddha

    I love this quote, yes.

    But I changed it to hatred.

    'Hatred is drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.'

    It's probably a rubbish statistic which comes for viewing figures of 166 million per stage, therefore the total is 3.5 billion for the 21 stages (or whatever it number it is). There's no way that half of the people on the planet watch the Tour de France. I'd be shocked if 3.5 billion people on the planet have even heard of it...

    how is that a rubbish stat? Perhaps we should judge World Cup coverage based on the first match or the Olympics based on the closing ceremony for their numbers?
