If something is spicy enough I get the hiccups, everytime.
If something makes me laugh uncontrollably, I have the tendency to hiccup. If i continue to laugh while hiccuping, i have the tendency to vomit. :zomg:

At least my first mouthful of soft drink (or pop or soda or whatever the hell you call it from wherever you're from) (usually other mouthfuls too) always makes me hiccup. I rarely get them otherwise.

Wow, some really neat stuff, guys :D I like how open some of you are being.
Another fact; I often lie about my age.
Why? Do you say you're older or younger? I guess I could say I often lied about my age getting into bars back when I was underage, so is that what you mean? :3
Central Heterochromia and Heterochromia are two different things. Not sure if you had them confused. I've never seen the movie though, I could be terribly wrong.

It is impossible for me to get a job. I've applied submitted over 70 applications to over 30 places. All get denied or ignored
Yeah, that's the stage where you gotta start considering a redesign of how you're presenting yourself when applying; in CV design & content, showreel and who you're actually approaching.

The only higher-intensity racket sport is squash. Badminton is an amazing cardio workout.
Oh I like playing table-tenis btw, colloquially known as ping-pong.
I love a bit of TT, but I'm horrifically bad at it. Every time I try to slice and add spin I end up fucking it off a wall or up someone's nose or some shit.

I agree, that club story is ace. I love it.

Another random fact.

I'm bi-sexual, and nearly everytime I go out drinking I end up making out with at least one other female, most of the time they are "straight" females, and after that they question their sexuality. And I usually get a text a couple days later saying "How did you know you were bi?"

shrugs I thought that was sort of interesting.

I get a lot of gay guys and their girl---friends walking up to me asking if I'm gay. Sometimes I tease gay dudes just for the fuck of it. And I do get girls too, I attract a lot of people.

Same, it tasted like shit, was not enjoyable, and I absolutely hate cigarette smoke ever since.

That reminds me of a scene from The perks of being a wallflower. Although it was not the str8 guy that began...
It also reminds me of Queen - I want to break free.

I think everyone inevitably contemplates at some point the same... uh... Wait a second, this thread is gay.

On the subject of smoking - I started with a cigar-type cigarette(think for a bit). But as I already read on the internet how to smoke, my first ever breath of smoke was done professionally. The only unprofessional part was the incredible dizziness that followed.

Just image the confusion and then residual bliss when a bored equipment operator finds out he can play a challenging game of golf to pass the time.

My boss knows about snake. He loved it. Plus you'll be surprised how much you learn trying to code games - stuff i've implemented in other controls projects

Man tell me about it.

Never touch the stuff on a day-to-day basis, but go out for drinks and put a packet in front of me and it won't last. Probably explains why I don't drink anymore either!

I like chewing on uncooked spaghetti noodles when I'm bored.

That used to be the thing back in the day. Us kids would buy the little noodle packs and just eat them raw rather than cooking them, took me like a year to find out I can actually boil them and make them even better! Good times.

I rarely let anything touch my lips. If anything does I have to wipe them straight away.
OCD? That's the strangest thing I've ever heard.

I recently 'quit' smoking, but that doesn't stop me from bumming a smoke when someone has them or when I drink. Nasty habit, but fuck it.

Also, I work for an insurance company doing programming. Let me tell you about dental insurance.

My turn! :D

I'm a regular smoker since about 9 years (rolling tobacco). I smoke 20-25 cigarettes per day, and when I'm nervous maybe even 35.

My weight is only 45 kg and I always eat a food quantity of a 60-70 kg person. My body did never saw fat in all its life. And I suffer from gastritis.

For every action break in a video game (reload weapon, animation, cutscene, where possible) I click the left mouse button 3 or 5 times religiously, sometimes I do not have time to do so and unnecessarily waste shots, having to reload the weapon again or repeat the action (if it's possible) of 3-5 clicks until I can do it regularly. Yeah, I know, I got few illnesses.

Last one: I worked as a computer technician for 1 year, and my payment of a year's work was a Logitech G15 V1 gaming keyboard because my boss had debts and after about a month he closed the shop. Basically, I earned 48 euros (keyboard value) instead of about 10,500 more or less.

Ya know... Italian people are crazy. Giusto? :3

I have to commend you on how stupid you are for missing out on 10k. This is what courts are made for. And why the hell would you work for so long without getting paid? I'm just baffled at how dumb this story is.

How tall are you? 45kg is INSANELY underweight. Medically. Alarmingly.

@Luke & Sajo:
Well, it was my first work and I was learning how to do it (it was more than 5 years ago, I was 16 if I remember correctly). And since I have been working without a contract, I wasn't able to sue him or denounce him. So my employer, legally, had no commitment towards me. Btw, my boss was a my father's friend. But my father was not in agreement with this story anyway.
And, Luke, instead of judging me badly calling me a stupid (since you don't know me), please ask next time. I'm not retarded, and I was younger and ignorant in the world of work.
@Archie:
I already know that, but despite this, I'm perfectly healthy! :D I only need to do some gym to increase my body mass, but since I don't have money available because I'm unemployed, I can't afford it, and I also suffer from scoliosis and I can't train alone because I could end badly. :P So, I just have to wait. :D Basically, I'm a 23 year old who looks like a 50. xD But I do complicated somersaults without problems, and that makes me look like a 15 years old boy. Those damn school backpacks... :furious:

I am left handed, but I use a mouse right handed. I also shoot right handed, although that is because I am really nearsighted in my left eye.

I am ambidextrous with cutlery. I think.
I think I have a preference for which hand holds the knife, and which one holds the fork, but I tend to just eat whatever way they are laid out.
It leads to problems when I'm eating if I put them down, then pick them up a minute later and it feels like I'm holding them the wrong way.
I've had a few meals spoiled in the past because I can only concentrate on how my hands feel weird, rather than the food.

I tend to get very uncomfortable if I have to get out of bed while somebody is in the room. I don't know why, but even if I'm wearing a full set of pyjamas I have to wait for whoever is in the room to leave.
Luckily this doesn't crop up often.

I also tend to get very focused on what I'm doing if it's something engaging.
One time I was working on a map (or SketchUp model, I can't remember) for about 36 hours straight. In that time I hadn't eaten, drank or slept, and I hadn't even noticed the passage of time.
I went to meet a friend for lunch about a mile away, and since I was a few minutes late I decided to run, but since I had gone so long without anything I nearly collapsed.
I try not to do that anymore.

Do you make them hard to find?
In response to my hidden video games.

A bit. I usually put an invisible button in one of the corners of a setup screen. They're not accessed all the time and they tend to have a bit of left-over real-estate.

Thing is however, once the system is setup properly, you usually don't need to go into the screen unless the operator is bored and is poking around.
It leads to problems when I'm eating if I put them down, then pick them up a minute later and it feels like I'm holding them the wrong way.
I do the same freakin' thing. I usually cut with my right but if i cut a bunch of pieces and pick up the fork with my left, i need to switch because it's more comfortable to eat with my right 0_o. HUMANS ARE SO ODD!

I wake up every morning around 4 or 5 and go to the gym for 2-3 hours of heavy lifting before work. I do this 7 days a week and only miss a day if I am physically unable to move due to tightness/soreness. I take way too many supplements and almost everyone I am close with has complained that I am overdoing it. I know I am overdoing it, but it is one of the few things that makes me happy.

Also, I have been on this site almost everyday since I joined 10 years ago, but rarely post anything.

I'm super jealous of your work ethic - I've been trying to get in shape for a few years now. I've been more or less paleo for about 18 months and i've lost about 30lbs but I can't seem to lose the gut - poo.

If its not negatively impacting your life then I don't think you can be overdoing it.

That's incredible! I love hearing success stories, in fact, my goal is to become a fitness model and nutrition/fitness coach. I would like to get famous on youtube or instagram so I can reach out and help as many people as possible.

I was strict paleo (besides supplements) for 5 months to look good for the summer. I would guess around 7-8% body fat. Right now, I am eating a ridiculous amount of calories a day to get huge just to starve myself again next summer. Don't know why I love it, but I do. If you want any advice, I can try to help you out.

Lol Ghost. I'm not fat - just not fit

I did crossfit for a while, but since my gym got evicted i haven't done much.
To be honest i've been slacking for some time.
Been trying to just do 50x: squats, pushups, jumping jacks, mountain-climbers and crunches a few times a week.
I don't think it's enough though.

What's the best way to burn body fat?

Well for some time I wanted to get my abs to look better. I took the Ab workout A6W from the Play store. It helps you make exercises for a flat stomach. The first day is supposed to be the easiest, it only takes 5 minutes.

Half-way going through, I thought I was going to break in half.

Mariowned, please elaborate on this. I've read a bit along the subject of the paleo diet, even downloaded a book but never got into the details. Does going paleo mean you can't have milk? I love milk! (yeah, I've read that gluten and lactose is some bad stuff but I'm not that allergic to stuff- not even dry hay).
Also, how would I figure out how much body fat I have without using specialized tools?

I usually eat very spicy things, and with each soup a hot pepper. Hot peppers be burnin' the fat.
