Wow... must be easy to keep yourself from getting bored when you get old. :)

But yeah I noticed I forgot to mention that I allready sent my answers in. So I don't want anybody thinking I was trying to steal answers.

not just now that i'm old .. i have no memory of ever knowing what it was like to be bored.

(except when i was a little kid - forced to go to church)

Claims of being bored are one of the things that pisses me off the most. Especially by people that are on the internet. Here they are connected to the greatest informational, entertainment & educational resource history has ever known and they're bored.

When I was in junior high my English teacher said something that stuck in my mind forever- "Only idle minds become bored." It's true. Only people who have a lack of imagination become bored.

Wiki makes this statement: "Boredom is a condition characterized by perception of one's environment as dull, tedious, and lacking in stimulation." The key word there is PERCEPTION. One perceives their environment as boring even when they in fact have an infinite amount of choices.

My apologies for this tangenital rant. The mere mention of the word "bored" sets me on edge.
