I have a very stixy friend. He only breaks, never bends.

This is a story of sheer stupidity. To be more precise, the sheer amount of stupidity that can arise from putting four 18 to 19 year old boys together. To be even more precise, how 3 of them like to play a stupid game called DoTA and the other one is just plain lazy. And how this combination of stupidity plus laziness can lead to disastrous effects for them.

On a bright and sunny Monday morning(2 days before GP), the four of them were in school, studying for the coming A Level examinations. Most were practising Maths, which was on Friday, even though there was GP on Wednesday(since I already said 2 days before GP. But I like to repeat and redund myself). So after finishing about half a Math paper, some of them more, they paused for lunch, after which the stupidity comes into play. So they proceeded to Paradiz Centre to play this stupid game. Of which the stupidest was the one that didn't enjoy the game. Why go in the first place when there are lovely books to read and lovely papers to do?

On the way, each and every one of them was saying how stupid they were. And each and every one of them proved their words to be prophetically accurate. Indeed the stupidity was immeasurable. But what have they to lose? Apparently, they had not only lost 2 precious hours of studying time, $4 - which would have gained them entry into a public toilet 40 times - , but also 2 games of DoTA and for two of them, 1 game of Pudge Wars. What was gained was merely 2 hours of cheap thrills, which was gained at high opportunity cost. So technically it was two hours of expensive thrills, which I hope they do not have to pay for with their future.

shucks.
