The Greatest Trick You Ever Pulled on Me
I was really good friends with my cousin when I was kid and we this happened with baseball cards. He would basically like Nemetically hack me to make me want baseball cards and increase their value. If you turn ten toddlers loose in a room that has ten equally cool toys There's one for each of them there. They're not just gonna each choose a toy They're gonna converge on one or two of them.
