When you ask yourself: Senate? What Senate?
When you correct people by saying that America, England, France, China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and India are all six thousand years old.

...when your parents ask why you have a low science grade on your report card you say, "We lack sufficient funds. Please increase science spending."Last edited by johncmcleod; February 16, 2002, 03:06."The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one." - Jean-Jacques RousseauComment

When you meet an interesting person, and, instead of asking for their phone number, you try to establish an embassy in their capital... wherever that is.
When you make sure that all your business deals (apartment contract, car loan, video rentals, etc...) last exactly 20 years or until war is redeclared.
When you start seriously considering the prospects of a CivIV."...it is possible, however unlikely, that they might find a weakness and exploit it." Commander Togge, SW:ANHComment

I am just talking about the cute girls who like me. They are acting too mousey now for long term relationships. But that is ok for the Lady when one is somewhat a reformed Tramp.

when you go with a shovel to the local dump so you can clean up the pollution.
when you suspect that everyone around you knows where you stashed your hidden resource of cookies.
when you don't believe stories about the native Americans learning to breed horses because everyone knows that horses originated in Europe and Asia and that's the only place that they can reproduce.
you wonder why Cairo doesn't have 1 billion people after having the Pyramids all these years.
you have to carry around a numeric keypad so you can move anywhere.
you go buy all the spices from the supermarket shelves because of that little voice that says you need to acquire more luxuries.
you introduce a plan for an aqueduct at the town meeting stating it is necessary for the city to grow beyond size 6. As a result, all the construction materials for the local shopping center are converted to build an aqueduct with ceiling tiles and automatic doors.
you wonder if you should get some diamonds so your girlfriend will have a We Love the King Day and thus put out more.Comment
