There is nothing more annoying than people starting a fight in the middle of a good party.
The Uninformed Masses
I'll bet that there are more students on campus that know that Beyonce is pregnant than those who know that the global population has been predicted by the UN to reach 7 billion in the next 2 weeks
Wall Street Whiners
