"Are fat people more difficult to kidnap in terms of their resistance, transportation and upkeep?" That lasted about two hours with about 4 people

and "whether to name my cat Sir pounce-a-lot or Mr.Wiggums"

The pronunciation of the fictional names "Tyrion" and "Jaime".


(It's "TEER-ee-on" and "JAYM", right? My stupid friends think it's "TY-ron" and "JAY-mee".)
I think it's TEER-ee-on and Jay-mee. I've seen the name spelled that way. But, then again I don't know where the fictional name comes from so I could be wrong about the second one.

I remember being at my mates playin Ragnarok and I stated that if I killed 1000 of these monsters then I should get this rare card drop from it (which had a 0.1% chance of dropping). They couldn't see what I meant. I went to say that if I was to roll a die 6 times then I am likely to have it land on the number 6 at least once.. and so if I killed 1000 of this monster than I am likely to get the drop.

It kinda went on for a long time, but at least it gave me something to do while I hunted. Hunting rare items was made more bearable for me if I set a target.
If you consider a 63% chance of getting the item a should, then sure. But independently speaking...you'll probably never see that rare item. I could see why they wouldn't see what you meant...
It's true that it's not a garauntee; I was trying to say to them that by killing the 1000 monsters, the expected return is 1 card and percentage wise it is more likely that I'd get one than not.

The most trivial arguement I've had recently was with my little sister. I was trying to tell her that she was European(we live in Ireland) but she shouldn't hear it. Kept insisting she was Irish, not European.

It was facepalm worthy.
I think I read in a Psychology textbook that subdivisions like that are just something children of a certain age can't understand so it's perfectly understandable. (Of course, I'm assuming that by "little" sister you mean she's still a child and not simply a bit younger than you.)

I had an argument about the big bang theory with a guy who completely misunderstood the big bang theory.

An exercise in futility.

How famous a person had to be to be considered assassinated. Went on for days, but I can't recall what my POV was. I don't think we came to an agreement.

Me: The Berlin Wall fell in 1989.
A friend: Idiot, it fell in 1991.
Me: I looked it up, it fell in 89.
Friend: Well your source was wrong.
Me: It was in our textbooks, I looked it up on five different websites, it was on three documentaries that I watched, my parents even remember hearing the news report in 89 about the wall being torn down.
Friend: Well they're all wrong. Why? Because I know I'm right.

Yeah, made for an interesting diversion from the homework we were supposed to be doing at the time.

I constantly have arguments with this one guy about how I'm always sarcastic with/to him.
Every single one of them is facepalm-inducing.

Also, I once argued that the saying "Right as rain" doesn't make any sense.

Whether one of the scientists in some old biology movie about crocodiles had an Australian or Welsh accent. This went on for the entire class, eventually decaying to, "Welsh!" "Australian!" "WELSH!" "AUSTRALIAN!"

They hardly sound similar, even to American ears! (We both agreed it was Welsh, in the end.)

Once i have a discussion about how we could reduce universal entropy to make the universe last longer.
"We could cover the sun with solar panels and store the energy and go living underground using the earth´s heat as power source." That was our best idea.
Cookie if anybody understood what i just said.
if youd like to argue with me i will point out that the sun will burn its hydrogen feul panels or not
most pointless arguement ever..okami is a good game 20 minute arguement.
also i once said that if you didnt kno that jude law is british you are a fucktard because ths fool said i think hes british.we then got into a 20 min arguement about whether or not he was british even tho he uses a british accent in every movie hes in including enemy at the gates where he plays a russian.the one exception to this rule is road to perdition.he said i was being disrespectful "because he was older" so the jude law arguement got into an arguement about respecting your eelders.this is bullshit cus the guys only like two years older than me and doesnt have that much more life experience and the fact that his parents had sex 2 years before mine did doesnt count for shit.2 years.i could understand ten or twenty maybe
sorry whether or not you put panels on it

Pffff... I bet you that the arguements I've had are way more pointless and trivial than all of yours.

It lasted quite a while. It was...

You have a 12 hour analogue clock (probably watch is a better example) and it only goes up to 12.00 not a 24 hour clock. So at 12.00 mid day (on the dot) would it be am or pm? And 12.00 at midnight would this be am or pm?

I don't think we ever came to an answer for that. If anyone knows could you answer it.
It's easy. 12:OO am = Midnight and 12:00pm is Mid day. Think for a second. Would you call 12:00 01 in Mid day AM?
No I wouldn't call 12:00 01 "am" in mid day. I also wouldn't call 11:59 59 "pm" when before mid day. THe arguement what would the 12:00 00 be. Right in the midle of am and pm. Would that be an am or pm.

Oh god, I'm argueing over it again.
