  • quomen, on 07/23/2008, -3/+45Wow, did you not see this in the dupe filter? I'm pretty sure you used exactly the same title too.
    Edit: Yep...

    Six days ago buddy. Six days ago..
    • sysop073, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Nothing like seeing that "_2" at the end of the URL; Digg should give you a special warning if you're posting a story with exactly the same name
    • Buddhist, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Reason #15 why you're not sleeping - clowns will eat you
  • heysuburbia, on 07/24/2008, -4/+22Bury as dupe
  • occasus, on 07/24/2008, -2/+4And Digg.
    What?! Someone had to.
  • breezytrees, on 07/24/2008, -3/+5hey look its 6:04 and i'm still awake.
  • unclemeat, on 07/24/2008, -3/+15Wow, who would have known that sleeping with a baby would keep you up? Call me stupid, but I would have thought the screaming, crying and pissing everywhere would be beneficial for sleep.

    Just wait for part two of this list, with more obvious reasons such as 'a bear is ***** on your chest'.
    • Kidtuf, on 07/24/2008, -6/+3Either you have a terrible opinion of babies, or you have next to no experience with them (probably both). Sleeping with a baby is not "screaming,crying, and pissing". My 1 year old sleeps 8 hours a night, as she did when she was 6 months old.

      In my experience I'm more aware of my daughters movement while asleep, and in that way I'm sometimes awoken.
  • moonboots, on 07/24/2008, -2/+2I am sleeping
  • bradhunt5, on 07/24/2008, -4/+4lol at, your a woman comment
  • malexan, on 07/24/2008, -2/+10A sleeping disorder may be keeping you from sleeping!? On tomorrow's show: eating may be making you gain weight.
  • gr3yn3t, on 07/24/2008, -2/+9buried for forbes.

    and for being a dupe.
  • koft, on 07/24/2008, -1/+27WARNING! ***** Forbes slideshow. Buried. By the time you get around to viewing the tab it's already off on another useless unrelated slideshow with postage stamp pictures, short meaningless text and a screen chock full of ads.
    • Enchorito, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2This is the sad state of the internet. In order to generate ad revenue, they resort to cheap tactics where a short one-page article is spread over 12 pages or in a slide show. WTF? Just let me read the damn article without click click click click...

      I make it a principle now to not read articles guilty of this faux pas.
  • benroy, on 07/24/2008, -1/+5What a bunch of crap.
    It seems as if the magazine just took a cross section of their readers and composed a list for them.
    What about drinking, video games and awkward work schedules?
    Buried for being another stupid list of arbitrary *****.
  • GhandicapXRS, on 07/24/2008, -1/+4Is it possible to bury an article off of the front-page once it's made it there?
    • hammr, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I would hope so, otherwise I don't see the purpose of the "Bury" button on an article.
      Anyone know the answer?
  • duckyinc, on 07/24/2008, -1/+315. It's morning
  • Protuhj, on 07/24/2008, -1/+515. Sex
    • MrsButtersworth, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3You mean, no sex.
      • Protuhj, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Could go either way. Keeps you awake during, or keeps you awake trying, and damn sometimes you gotta try hard.
  • Nightfall, on 07/24/2008, -1/+316. You didn't have sex.
  • MMaster23, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4Try: the @&#^*@#&% hillbilly neighboors who won't shut up and stop fighting/swearing at 4 in the ***** morning...

    Christ .. wish I had guns :@
  • swazo, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4Yeah, I am out of weed and didnt get laid. I've been up all night doing an assingment due in 15 minutes, while trying to balance my 45 hour work weeks all the while trying to study for a final in 5 days. I dont need a website telling me why I hate my life.
  • soulonfire928, on 07/24/2008, -0/+8Can't ***** be put on one page?

    Oh, and duped. Buried.
  • dantelephoneman, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Stupid list of Common sense items buried for being a waste of my time, I am going to bed.
  • charm803, on 07/24/2008, -1/+417. Too busy browsing around digg and looking for dupes then bitching about articles that are dupes, then commenting on said submission, then burying articles that are dupes.

    I, on the other hand, don't waste my time bitching about said articles because I don't spend that much time on digg. I spend it Farking around.


  • kidd3ckz, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3My problem is a little terrorist cat that bites my toes and fingers if i move at all...

  • pinje, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2*sigh* not only do we have to put up with content which was posted a week ago with the same title, we also have to put up with the fact its a forbes list.
  • Mrstupid7, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2They forgot to add drinking caffeine after 3 or 4 pm. I thought I had insomnia but I stopped drinking sodas, and oddly enough, it went away.
  • nickbyfleet, on 07/24/2008, -1/+1How did this make front page? Buried as duplicate.
  • Pootle4rthur, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4buried for being another pathetic forbes slideshow.

    There's no need for such a stupid way of displaying information online. One page will do the job better
  • alexra, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I know a few of these are true, like when you fall asleep during the day, and when you actually have to go to sleep at night you can't, including the one about staying in bed and trying to fall asleep, it doesn't work, and the late night eating one is definently true.
  • binaryloop, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Wow. I've been scratching my balls for weeks trying to figure out why I can't sleep. Turns out.... I was a woman.
  • supersteve, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2#15 stop playing with this damn iPhone
