Quick, what's the dullest thing you can think of?

(Yes, it's another random question relating to the game script. I should probably start a new section for these....)

    I had an E-Marketing Seminar today ....that was probably the dullest thing my ears have ever had the misfortune of overhearing. I even tried to block it out by humming the tune from the A-Team in my head :(

    Actualy this was an idea of my brother so credit to him, but it was reorganising the living room so all furniture would be alphabetised. Realy listening to that idea made me want to go and clean out my desk( which is an incredibly dull thing by itself).

    Listening to my brother tell me about the new polo shirts he wants to get embroidered with his company logo, their nylon to lycra ratio, How some have safety strips and some don't, and how well they iron. And also about the safety vest he bought his dog from the same store. And then listening to him tell my wife the exact same thing.

    Category theory may itself be duller than... well, than things listed in this thread, but I did have a pretty good time with the Wikipedia page on it. I looked at the entry on category theory as well as a number of the related linked entries, and the language is full of all sorts of wonderful phrases that only seem to be defined in terms of each other (perhaps appropriate under the circumstances). The more I read, the less I knew, and I was taken with the uneasy feeling (not uncommon to Wikipedia pages) of being unsure whether I was looking at something real, or at an elaborate superfictional put-on that someone had created as an art project or social experiment. Which was kind of fun....

    Reading really boring writing, like English Restoration literature (try drama and comedy like Man of Mode, The Plain Dealer, The Country Wife, or Way of the World), or any really badly written computer manual.
