Sometimes I Am Proud As Can Be About What I Do Not Know

According to Apple, in 2013 Candy Crush Saga was the smash hit game that millions played on subways, while waiting at the bank or while hanging around the house and it was the No. 1 most downloaded free app for the iPhone.

The game itself has over 500 million downloads and has been played over 150 billion times.

Those numbers are staggering. I’ll repeat them for the scan readers out there... Over 500 million downloads! (That’s 500 thousand thousand times!) & Played over 150 billion times! (That’s 150 thousand million times!).

In my not so humble opinion such endeavors are a staggering waste of time.

What's wrong with us?...

  • Who is going to find the cure for cancer?
  • Who is going to go to Mars?
  • Who is going to write the next Great American Novel Kindle Book?
  • Who is going to leap buildings in a single bound?

I guess I better start practicing my leaping because I appear to be one of the few not playing Candy Crush Saga.

What have you been doing with yourself? On second thought, you don’t need to tell me. I can see from here that you have sticky fingers.

Would I kid u?
