Well in order to tell the whole story you would have to know about the people envolved, but basically I was in this boring unnecessary meeting (the ratio between boring unnecessary meetings, and good necessary meetings is 25 to 1), and I was at the back silently singing Yoda's theme, and this other person asked if I liked SW and/or LOTR, I said (too loudly) that I was such a big fan of SW that I know the milenium falcon could make the kessle run in less than 12 parsecs, and then they all looked at me, kinda saying "uh could we please continue, could you stop talking about toys and stuff?".

I hate unnecessary business meetings, I start to balance on the two back legs of my chair (I fell twice), I start to whistle (cant spell that) and/or sing SW themes (Imperial march is my favorite to use at meetings), I interrupt things to ask stupid questions... Have you ever seen Fight Club? Edward Norton's character, I'm like him at the office (except I don't beat myself in front of my boss).
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

You spelled "whistle" fine. I get bored easily in meetings, too. I tend to pretend like I'm taking notes in my PalmPilot while, in fact, I'm playing games. I do that almost too often.

Yep, I think six degrees was archived. I'm not sure if we should start it back up or not.
