    Pointless hobbies

    Inspired by the thread which mentioned braille, I was thinking it would be kind of fun to learn that one day, purely for interest. It got me thinking, what totally pointless hobbies do you either have, or would like to have - perhaps after retirement?

    It reminds me of this

    He had been planning to learn to play the octraventral heebiephone --- a pleasantly futile task, he knew, because he had the wrong number of mouths.

        Do feel quite free to grow up. In the meantime, another incarnation to add to the ignore list. Bye bye moron.

        This is a fun Friday thread, not an invitation for dicks to insult people. Start your own thread if you've excess bile to get rid of.

          He did have a point though. I didn't see any insulting words there. That's what you do, isn't it?

              I don't know what the world is coming to.
              You describe what people do and they admit it, then call you a dick regardless.
              Most illogical.

                I have music. In my case most definitely pointless, but I like it. Radio control toys are kind of cool too. And learning to program AVRs. And measuring stuff. I have sound meters, light meters, power meters, oscilloscopes, temperature probes, verbose calipers and micometers, and I know how to use them.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
