Silly habits

Sitting on the subway watching these boys furiously shaking there smart phones because the screen isn't responding to the touch of their finger. I am quite accustomed to the silly wives tales of china as most of them still believe them as scientific fact instead of a belief of the past. However, a fond memory came to mind an it involves Nintendo.

Do you remember  when we would blow on the game cartridge because it was working. Be had to blow off the dust. I wonder how much of that was just true creativity to remedy a simple problem or just plane old silliness. Even to this day I would say that blowing on that cartridge fixed the problem. After blowing on it we would firmly jam the game Ito the console.

One cultures silliness is another cultures truth. Who knows?
