You know you're a video game freak if ... You hire a babysitter to watch your video games. When you go swimming you put your nintendo D.S. in the glove box so no one will try to commit a felony and try to steal it. You cry when your data gets deleted. When you lose a disc you blame everyone you can so you can be in denial. You have every system since the pong game. You know who and when created all of your games. You are eaisly entertained when you hear that the nintendo stock market raises.

The US Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and the US railroads were built by English expatriates. Why did the English people build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did "they" use that gauge then?

I was sitting in chat room, Feeling mildly amused, When I saw something strange, That left me all confused. Someone typed a word, (As far as I could tell) But I had never seen it. What is an LOL? Then the plot got thicker, More words I didn't know, A person started typing, The word LMAO. I sat there in amazement, I felt like a dumb toad. Could it be, these people, Were speaking in a code? That's when I looked closer. And found the subtle clue. I figured out this code And I'll share it now, with you. LOL is three little words, That seem, to me, quite shady.

Tech: You'll need a new power supply. Sardaar: No, I don't! I just need to change the startup files. Tech: Sir, the power supply is faulty. You'll need to replace it. Sardaar: No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the startup and it will fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me the command. 10 minutes later, the Sardaar is still adamant that he is right. The tech is frustrated and fed up. Tech: Sorry, Sir. We don't normally tell our customers this, but there is an undocumented DOS command
