Signs a Hotel is Bad

Most of us have stayed at hotels in our lives. Sometimes these stays are good, other times less so. Sometimes you get a hotel room, then leave an hour later because you value your life. Here are some indications that your hotel room may not be the best, to put it mildly.

How to Destroy Jewelry

Jewelry is made of many different materials, some of them more durable than others. Hematite, for example, is an inexpensive material sometimes used in jewelry. However, it's also somewhat fragile. I've read many stories of how acts of clumsiness resulted in fragile jewelry breaking.

And I can't help but think to myself, I probably shouldn't choose anything fragile for jewelry. Let's face it, I'd find some way to accidentally break it. As I thought more about this, many wild and absurd scenarios emerged in my mind. Allow me to explain.

Random Weird Theories I Have

We all have those theories that are hard to prove, or that might sound crazy to some. But nonetheless, you're certain they're true. For example, Immortalkitten is certain that her cat knows when she's thinking of using her drawing tablet. Being insanely jealous of the silly square Kitten likes to pet, the cat will get in the way, sitting on her tablet while she's trying to use it... or settling in Kitten's lap before she even makes a move to get her drawing tablet.

Anyway, here are some interesting or weird theories of mine.

Signs You've Been Playing Too Much Sims

There are thousands upon thousands of great games out there. Among those are the Sims games. I mean, there's so many things you can do in these games. Of course, sometimes we find ourselves playing Sims so much that we begin to live and breathe Sims. It consumes our thoughts, until the day we stumble out of bed one morning, poke the shower, and wonder why it's taking so long for the pie menu to pop up. Anyway, here are some signs that you may be playing too much Sims.

Death By Hiccups

My brother came home from work one day, and we asked how his day was. "Well," he replied, "other than almost dying today, it was fine."

Apparently, at some point during his shift, he got a case of the hiccups. He does online shopping orders, so he was going around the store while hiccupping over and over. He tried various methods of getting rid of his hiccups, but they persisted.

Finally, he decided to try drinking some water. Problem was, right as he went to swallow, he hiccupped. Since he was in the grocery section, he was trying desperately not to cough and spray water everywhere. So there he stood, making strangled choking noises while he attempted to swallow.

A spectacle like that is bound to attract the attention of everyone around, right? "No. Earlier I hiccupped loudly, and someone asked me if I was all right. But me dying in the middle of produce? No one batted an eye."
