Skip Loves Dull Men

I have recently come across one of the most entertaining websites on the entire internet. It is the Dull Men's Club. Their motto: 'A place -- in cyberspace -- where Dull Men can share thoughts and experiences, free from pressures to be in and trendy, free instead to enjoy the simple, ordinary things of everyday life.' No, seriously.

Here, boring men from around the world (funny that most of them live in England) can share their inane stories and insipid facts about Baggage Carousels and Bingo, Rest Areas and Roundabouting. For example, who knew that of '366 airports reporting. . . 45.5% are counterclockwise, 29% clockwise, 7.7% go both ways, 3% other, 15.8% have no carousels.' Amazing! If only I knew what 'other' direction a baggage carousel could go in?!?!

You see! It is a wealth of pointless prosaic information that happily feeds my mind's need for just such nonsense and keeps you wanting more!
