32,000 "Why I'm Tired" Emails

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.
