Are you like one of those girls that askes questions throughout a movie? Does peoples motivation to follow the excretable detail of celebrities lives allude you? Maybe the remote control is simply too much to handle?

Then they get other similarly "brainy" men to accredit their books with a foreword so as to deter any potential readers from going "Hang on... this is bollocks!". There's basically a cabal of a couple of dozen men who agreed a while back that a better use for their massive brains than discovering the secrets of the universe, would be pretending they had and saying each other was clever to shift units.
