    There is no shame in coming in second, except in like, wars.

        There is no shame in coming in second, except when you’re composed by antimatter.

        Umm, ackhchually, the first sperm usually doesn’t get to the egg. It weakens the outer membrane enough for others to try, and whichever sperm gets lucky to finally break through impregnates the egg. The first one is usually out of energy by that point. So you were lucky to capitalize on the work of others. Cheers!

    I participated in a contest at a recruitment booth with wii sports basketball. Top score would win an iPad. I clutched a nearly perfect score and got 1st by a decent margin. But at some point before the awards were given, they decided to change the rules into a lottery for everyone who participated.

    God, I hate the whole thing of everyone getting a participation trophy and everyone being a winner. I was never a fan as a child and that hasn’t changed one bit.
