17 years of pennies
I think that i have reached the maximum stage of boredom with my new essay-avoidance technique. I have just arranged all my pennies, in chronological order, along my desk. From this i have learnt that-
1) I have quite a lot of pennies. This may well save my life as the academic year nears its end and i can just manage to scrape together enought to pay for that very last meal of baked potato with cardboard.
2) Pennies from the year 1998 have a special affinity for me
3) The queen's head has got progressively larger as time has passed. If she lasts much longer a new larger penny shall have to be introduced.
4) My oldest pennies are from 1971 (i have two)
5) My most disgusting penny comes from 1974
6) According to my data, no pennies were made in the years 1970, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1989, 1991 and 1993. Either that or someone has eaten them.
I think this penny game could be adapted into some sort of pub game with a drink for the winners of each category, but with all pennies going into the pot towards peoples drinks.
I really should do some proper work, shouldn't I?
