Trying to control what other people can do... great joke!

Misinformed conversation... sounds awesome.

You seem fun!

There's a deeply sarcastic culture of fake rules at my company, in which groove this fake rule fits precisely. Lunch time is generally understood as a time of bullshitting, conviviality and foosball. Every time we have to wait 30 seconds to find out, e.g., how many apple seeds you can eat without killing yourself, we are all richer for it.

I'm ashamed to say I had to know. I found two estimates: the seeds of 25, or of "over 2000" apples.

Either way, we should be safe, and it just goes to show how much more fun wondering is than an extremely inconclusive answer.

That's where I would think "there's only one way to find out..."
