WDC In Out Craze

Ok, so up till recently I'd pretty much thought In/Outs were rather pointless. I mean it's a writing site and the back and fourths I'd seen when I/O's had first been released to the site was just lame. I mean people wrote stories a sentence or two at a time and mostly things just derailed all the time. I couldn't stand the lack of control with keeping things in hand.

But recently I've come to a new opinion. In Outs can be great fun. Especially if you go in light hearted and avoid the urge to create something meaningful. There are lots of great ones out there and I had to write a list just to keep track of the great ones I've found and want to return to regularly.

I've been thinking that it might be fun to create my own but I have no clue what I could do with it. I mean there are I/O's out there for pretty much everything already. My friend Forge has gone I/O crazy in his port and I love all of his. Especially the "Invalid Item"  *grins* This one is sooooo much fun but I wish more people would give it a try. Yodaisms always make me smile.

Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. #1154988 by Not Available.

That's my current list. I'll probably add to it as I find new ones or remove some if I begin to lose interest or if it stops being particularly active. There are some great word games in there that can keep your mind sharp. It's fun to attempt these challenges. And it's FANTASTIC for procrastintion. I could while away hours in these things and not feel very guilty that I'm not writing. I mean I'm being productive aren't i? *grins*

But now, to ponder and ponder upon my own in out. What could I do with this format? What hasn't been done but would take off? *ponders and ponders and ponders*

Ohhh, I almost forgot, continued education today:

The term karaoke means "empty orchestra".

In most advertisements the time displayed on a watch is 10:10 [I have to research this one since it makes no sense. Would the time be whichever time they happened to record the ad?]

It takes about 550 peanuts to make one jar of peanut butter.

A man's voice is deeper then a woman's because males have longer vocal cords. [Yep down to their balls, that's why they ask a boy if his balls just dropped when in puberty his voice changes.]

The koala is one of the few land animals that does not require water to survive. [OMG what a misnomer, they do so require water, they however obtain the majority of it from the leaves they eat.]

The garfish has green bones. [Ok, if it weren't so late I'd go off and find out WTF a garfish is.]

214 crates were used to transport the Statue of Liberty from France to New York in 1885. [lol And I bet you yanks thought American's built that beauty. ]

Hair grows slowest at night.

The skeleton of a 70kg body weighs about 13kg. [Ohhh I feel better about weight loss now. I wonder how much my organs weigh as well, that way I could subtract it from my total weight and be really skinny. *grins*]

If you have ozostomia, you are suffering from halitosis, or bad breath.

A woman's arthritic pains will almost always disapear when she becomes pregnant. [OMG what a lie, my osteo issues with my hips were always the worst during pregnancy, same with my knee's. It's when I lost weigh things got a little better.]

Candles burn slowly and evenly with little wax drippings if placed in the freezer for an hour before using.

Cold water weighs less than hot. [Um what? Contemplates weighing hot vs cold water.]

Ok, sorry Scarlett, these things don't come in fives. But I bet you're all glad you know all that now. Carry on.
