1000 Clues You Play Civ3 Too Much

22. You wonder why the Spain didn't found Hinduism. The only way India could have snagged both it and Buddhism is if Isabella didn't even try.
 
23. Everything around you is reduced to Civilization terms. For example, on a train through the New Forest (around Southampton) I thought to myself, "Oh look...a source of Horse."
 
24. You tear apart your neighbors vegetable garden hoping to get some gold for pillaging it.

25. (Mainly for female players) Your boyfriend/husband asks for something and you slap him across the face and say "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!", then you give him bedroom eyes and flip your hair.

26. You, the boyfreind/husband LIKE it!
 
27. You actually use the Alarm function in the options menu to know it's time to go to work / school.
 
28. You're chewing something crunchy and you think, "THE ENEMY HAS BEEN SPOTTED..." (This happened on the way home as I was munching on pretzels lol)
 
29. You have a dream that Civ 5 came out, and of coarse, you buy it on instinct without even taking a look at it. After buying it, you go home and look at the box... The minimum requirments say at least 6.something GHz... So of coarse, you dont even try playing it... Yes stupid I know...
 
31. After meeting someone for the first time you give him 20g to improve relations.

32. You buy a ship to sail around the globe to improve your ship's speed.

33. You wonder why not every country has its Globe Theatre, Mount Rushmore, Oxford University and Wall Street.
 
34. You watch the presidential debate and think "Now there's a politician even I wouldn't sleep with"
 
35. (I know its from the civ3 clues but its still great) Instead of walking, you now "go to".

36. (BTS) You think getting hit by a big rock or a cannonball doesn't kill you.
 
37. You think Al Gore really DID invent the internet

38. You can't eat your banana in the morning becuase you don't have a calendar in your kitchen

39. You're depressed/overjoyed (depending on your opinion of him) that George W Bush won't rule for 6000 years!

40. You spent 4 hours at work reading the "1000 clues you play Civ 3 too much" and wonder why no one has started one for Civ 4 and then spend 4 hours at work thinking of ones to post when then 1000 clues for Civ 4 thread got started - I'M GUILTY LOL

41. You promote Anarchy so you don't have to pay taxes

42. You see smog outside and think building an aqueduct will clear it up.

43. You wonder why stoned looking hippie chicks don't show more cleavage

44. You meet a stoned looking hippie chick and then you're GLAD they don't show more cleavage!

(Sorry I haven't researched mathemaics yet, I'm still on Masonry lol)
 
@blackrabbit: check your numbering ;)

45. You tell your children (babys) that they can't play with eachother as they can't enter eachother's territory as they don't know how to write yet.
 
34. You watch the presidential debate and think "Now there's a politician even I wouldn't sleep with"
Kinky if it's the wrong one. Mind you, the number of crushes I've had on people, what Chatty Cathy doesn't want, Crowqueen will have happily :D (this from someone who was "gone" on John Major at the age of 12 and found Michael Howard even more charming in real life than his vampire image made him seem...). David Cameron, Blair and Brown have too many teeth to be sexy, though when Brown smiles he looks like my Uncle Ian, so that's a plus in my book. Barack would be sexy (kind of Justinian meets Mansa Musa) if he gave any intimation of knowing what to do if he got the presidency, and McCain...I wouldn't say no. Would get my vote if I had one.

47. You read the newspapers and (a) believe it's Anarchy (1) at the moment, (b) wonder whether it has been Anarchy (5) and (c) wonder what the Civic change the government is going to implement next.

48. You spend your nights while trying to sleep making up stories about what your Civ cities would look like in reality.

49. You spend most of the time not playing reading up on ancient history just to find out who Justinian and Gilgamesh and Cyrus of Persia actually were.
 
51. When you become a politician, your greeting to foreign dignitaries goes like, "Is that a treaty in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?"
 
52. Someone gets right up in your face and you say "Hey back up there Cyrus!"

53. Someone asks to borrow your Civ disc and you say "You can have it when you pry it from my cold dead hands!"

54. You and your partner finish, well you know, and you say "Just one more turn"

This one is for the guyr, don't laugh cuz you did it today!

55. You refer to "it" as "Peter the Great!" and you talk about how "expansive" he is

56. You're the only one who hears the "mua ha ha" laugh at the end of your turn
