the point of being pointless

some things i wrote on econs.
"pasta may be normal good for us; but a necessity for Italians. the PED for it may be perfectly inelastic, but who cares about Italy"

"super-big tyres may be relatively uncostly compared to other factors that make up the cost of mining,like labour, vehicle maintenance, fuel, and bribery for the government to bend some rules (i am kidding)"


I am very positive about putting in some irrelevant stuff in exam-papers.

main reason being that it is purely for my own entertainment;most of the time, it is quite difficult to concentrate on something if you are not truly and absolutely interested to do so.
however, we must admit that sometimes we stop in the middle of exam and go brain-dead, and start pondering about meaning of life.

...perhaps not something as "deep" as "meaning of life", but maybe the difference between a donut with a hole in the middle and a self-proclaimed "donut" which looks like a bun but with something in it, red-bean, for instance.

...which basically could be themed "the identity of donuts".

something unrelated to exam and what's in front of you, is what i'm trying to mean.

so, my solution to that was to put something personal - which may show YOUR views about stuff that is being asked-although you know that they are not asking for that.

it makes the whole thing more interesting, to think of something funny(although it is very difficult to come up with something that is genuinely funny)perhaps for the examiner to twitch, or better, smile.

so it is an incentive to keep at it, to keep turning the page, for me.

I need something in life that is totally irrelevant, too.
just like how i include reference to Pocahontas in Frankenstein essay, describe baby rappers in mother's womb in poetry, draw little pictures of little people supporting the chemical apparatus in a chemistry experimental theory paper, etc.

I could have something that would probably will not benefit me at all, but something i'd do just for kicks,

like posting totally meaningless blog posts, for instance.
