Fact or Crap...

Play a game. Think about how the game structures time. How does the "game" effect or reflect the "real world." What do games have to tell us about "everyday life?" What does your particular game tell us about your "everyday life?"-
I recently bought a game called Fact or Crap. It consists of cards with facts or false facts on them, and you try to figure out which "facts" are true and which ones are plain crap. Not only is it hilariously funny to hear some of the things that are made up, it's even MORE CRAZY when the most ridiculous things turn out to be true. For example, it is actual fact that John Brinkley of Kansas made a fortune transplanting the glands of testicles of goats into human males to improve their sexual prowess. THAT'S A FACT. EW! Another crazy fact on the cards that was true is that it is against the law in New Jersey to annoy others by slurping your soup in a public restaurant. It's against the law! This game tells me that everyday life is just bizzare. Transplanting goat testicles and slurping soup against the law? And why would the celebration of St. Valentine's Day be abolished in Britain? It was in earlier times. It's amazing what I learned from this game. Not only did I learn that I cannot tell the fact from fiction ( because fact is often just as weird as the fictitious lies they make up), I also learned that humanity is hard to understand. Why would the Colosseum be constructed to allow an underground area to be flooded for the sole purpose of staging mock sea battles? I mean, in Ancient Rome, someone thought of that? It's also true that by law, women's underwear cannot be hung outdoors during autumn and winter in Los Angeles. Who makes a law like that? Barbers in Nebraska can not eat onions between 7am and 7pm. It's against the law.
This game, while different than most, really is a true reflection of the real world. It shows we live in a really messed up place.I'll never feel the same way about Goats.
