An anonymous reader writes "Slate has a story about the guy who registered tired.com in 1997 and put up on the home page "Are you tired? Tell us why." He's collected 32,000 emails from tired people, including an one from a Navy ship at sea that's too good to be fake."
I'm tired of all you foreigners who think you are so special with your own time zones.
I'm tired of all of these divisive things that separate us, instead of bring the world together. I'm tired of the metric system, different languages, and different currencies.
I hope the U.N finally ratifies Resolution 1325E so that the world all has one standardized language, measurement systems, currency and time zone.
I am tired of people who toss in fake links to add credibility to their moronic posts. I'm tired of moderators who don't think I am funny.
I'm so tired, so i visited the site an.... ZZZzzzZZ NO CARRIER

32,000 messages about being tired of first posts, SCO, Microsoft, Goatse.cx, John Romero and fan boys. The poor guy is probably going to become very confused!
I don't think he would appreciate your description of how you stayed up all night watching pr0n till 5am and you are tired from self-gratifying sexual exhaustion.
nearly 100 in the first week, a rate that's continued steadily for almost seven years, neither rising nor falling with the growth of the Net

nothing like looking for something when you're knackered/exhausted/fatigued/stuffed.
I was so tired, I was expecting a letter as if from the ship:
I've been in service 50 years and they haven't rust guarded me for 15. Bits of me keep falling off and they've started replacing the fuel lines cheap underspec ones - it's only a matter of time before I blow up or kill my entire crew with the asbestos lagging...
My rivets are popping, my gaskets are leaking. The air smells of diesel, and someone keeps pissing in the air intakes. The bilge gas could kill a man at twenty paces, they haven't emptied it for years, and now it's classed as a WMD.

I have a 6 month old daughter.
A friend of mine said yesterday that he woke up at 4.30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I simply replied "As a parent, I can only say 'Screw you'."
this is getting old and so are you
