Quit submitting articles to digg. - djbeeker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+101Dave Barry's original article "25 things i have learned in 50 years" was way funnier than this abbreviated and heavily modified version.
http://www.langston.com/Fun_People/1998/1998AWJ.html - ViRaZ, on 10/15/2007, -4/+8610. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
My girlfriend was getting upset/mad from all of the people just coming up to her and asking about the baby she was having (I think she was 7-8 months pregnant at the time). I told her that the next time someone came up to you about the baby, just look at them in the eyes with a straight face and say "What baby?" - BenFaist, on 10/11/2007, -7/+56Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative the same night.
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”
There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
You should not confuse your career with your life.
Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. (This one is very important.)
Never lick a steak knife.
The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 11.
The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
Your friends love you anyway.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. - zerhynn, on 10/11/2007, -2/+48I love how the original list of 25 things that Dave Barry actually wrote has been sliced and diced into 15 that he probably didn't even write.
- dpcdomino, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4617. You should not read the same article over and over and over again.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4916. buy better hosting

I have an easy guide to this one:
men
---average---
women - firebhaal, on 10/15/2007, -2/+28"There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 11. "
This made me laugh because I think of all the people and modern TV shows on sweet sixteen and how whiny people are about their birthdays. - ArmyOfFun, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1416. Any e-mail chain you've been forwarded will end up on digg's front page once a month.
- Flatlineskillz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13WOW and I thought I was the only one who had a mom who forwards stupid chain e-mails to me.
- dvddesign, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13He can't have mine. I use it for porn.
- koick, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~karlh/fun/25things.html
- ripstuntz, on 10/11/2007, -8/+21I've seen this list on here before and enjoy reading it everytime. Made my day, dugg.
- elsJake, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13you win the internets , congrats.
- fani, on 10/11/2007, -7/+18One thing I learnt -- no matter what you say the new Digg commenting system sucks.
And we didn't do anything about this. No revolt, nothing to make it better. And digg folks who made this are laughing at us -- we talk and talk but do nothing... - endgame, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13#26 Wear Sunscreen!
- wattznext, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16From Wikipedia:
DST was first proposed in 1907 by William Willett, and 1916 saw its first widespread use as a wartime measure aimed at conserving coal. [sic] Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours
Do i win a prize? perhaps nick's life? (See below) - wattznext, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11After which, i'll eat some rOLD gOLD pretzels
- wattznext, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10no matter what a stripper tells you, there is no sex in the champagne room
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Holy *****! Thanks, beer on monitor now...Very well done.
- drafhk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9There's one very apt one there for the Digg crowd:
"No matter what happens, someone will find a way to take it too seriously." - Radworld4, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11And whats the deal with airports...I mean c'mon. Who are these people?
- Snorglorf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I'm gonna go fOLD some laundry
- hseldon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+816. Never, never user HOSTGATOR if you have a site that is worth viewing.
- unquist, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I agree. Mahatama Gandhi is way funnier than Dave Barry.
- TannerC, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8How does it take 50 years to learn that taking laxatives and sleeping pills on the same night is a bad idea?
- Devrdander, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Thank you, for anyoen interested, this is just an email list that been bastardized, only 4 lines are Dave's.
Dave Barry actually wrote a column entitled "25 things i learned in 50 years", google it. - crapmatic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7It's scary how a lot of people have likely begun worshiping this incarnation of the list, which was probably edited by nose-picking Internet chain letter forwarders who never did half of the things listed. I say bury this faux version and digg up the Dave Barry original. Even if I don't agree with him, it's the real deal.
- 98acura, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8I would guess the majority of Digg users are American, and judging by our present (pathetic) state. We all just bend over and take it. Must be the American way.
- tim04, on 10/11/2007, -0/+57. They can hold all the peace talks they want, but there will never be
peace in the Middle East. Billions of years from now, when Earth is
hurtling toward the Sun and there is nothing left alive on the planet
except a few microorganisms, the microorganisms living in the Middle East
will be bitter enemies.
This one rings so true... - geekfrom99, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6@Snorglorf + wattznext
i lOLD - Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5What's the deal with airline food, anyway?
- Dougman82, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Digg me down, but I like the new comment system. Well, except for the link at the bottom of the page to show comments 51-xx. I like being able to ignore the replies to dumbass comments... like this one, i guess :)
- whatevermoron, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Ease down on the Adderall, kid.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3NO your not.....
- google01103, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4It's old and it's been dugg multiple times in the past - at some point this kind of repetition becomes digg pollution - give a HOOT don't POLLUTE!!
see http://digg.com/search?s=dave+barry+50+years+things+took+learn&submit=Search§ion=news&type=both&area=all&sort=score - theholycow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3'There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”'
...and this line is called "World of Warcraft". - haggie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5#26: if you're banging a chick in the ass, pull out, and she'll still suck your *****, she'll do anything else you want too.
- wattznext, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Dude, caps lock. take it off
- jahill, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Why is it not called Moonlight Spending Time?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5This is even better
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_My_Experiments_with_Truth
This is a book by Mahatama Gandhi. I have read only 30 pages. The knowledge I gained from 30 pages is much more than what this person has gained in fifty years. - TeatimeGrommit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3The actually funny ones are the ones removed to make the bland list of 16. Figures.
- Dougman82, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance."
That's what I thought until one time I started "dancing" and this girl turned and told me never to do that again. Never again will I go to a dance... - jftitan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Remember that line that someone will always take something too seriously.... well you did it!
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I am so glad that Arizona (well, most of it) doesn't do DST. So convenient.
- k0rd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Digg effect ftw
- nicepants, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3If Daylight Savings time is so great, why don't we just do it all-year-round?
- jftitan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Heres another one... any email chain you receive, you've just been added to another spam list. After awhile you begin receiving actual spam, because someone on that forward list of 500+ email addresses was a email harvester... I personally ban/bit bucket anyone that forwards chain/spam or pretty much anything with fwd in the subject line.
Sure I've banned my father, mother, sister, brothers, neighbors, relatives, friends... but at least I have a clean inbox! -
