75) If you suddenly remember the numbers you forgot erlier and mention them out of order.

85) You're prone to seizures from seeing little pirate ships shoot cannons at battleships.

86) Your roomates will think you've gone off the deep end when they see you eating breakfast at the computer at 6am, but you're still in yesterday's clothes.

87 - You actually mind about whether your legs still work or not.

88 - It seriously bothers you that there are horses in the North America of the world map.

89 - You're Mongolian, Spanish, Scandinavian, Welsh, Irish, Scottish or Carthaginian and it seriosuly bothers you that Sid feels your impact on civilization was less than the Iroquois'........

90 - It bothers you that privateers have an attack of one

91 - You don't like to see great leaders of the past dressed up like obscure fashion designers.

92. On your way to and from work (if you still have a job) you are looking for goody huts which contain gold.

93. You think that culture is what grows on the top of old yoghurt (how can 'culture' lead to victory?)
