now, I may be a massive freak here, but for some reason I find thirds, such a common thing, really creepy.
1 third is 0.3333333333333333333333--
and yet is one of our most common forms of division. I find this creepy.

I don't find it creepy, but I always found it annoying how the only way to get it to fit into 1 is by rounding off.
It is always 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...1 off.
Ultimately it doesn't really matter; it still works. It's just a little nit-pick of mine.

Thirds are a necessary evil, if we are to triumph over the Buggers.

Creepy is the wrong word, but I must admit they do annoy me.

Apart from that... I have a bad feeling this is gonna turn into one of those threads where people boast about their ignorance.

First thing I thought of upon seeing this thread title...

I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own... |

If they bother you, just multiply them by the square root of negative one, and watch your problems go away...

If however you get two thirds to merge, there is a much larger problem. Therefore I shall have to close the thread to avoid that danger.
