This is uninteresting.

The annual event known as the Boring Conference is dedicated
to all things uninteresting. So the more yawn-inducing the subject matter, the
better suited it is for the audience. This year's highlight:  a seminar on
the square root of two. Here are the some of the other Boring Conference presentations from the last two events:



Cataloguing ties: It might seem arcane, but building an index of cravats and
ties remains a sartorial skill. Conference-goers learnt that logging should be
based on colour, material and fabric.
Milk matters: Everyone knows semi-skimmed is better for you than full fat
but how do various types rate?
Beauty of car park roofs: Inside they are depressingly, gear-crunchingly narrow and
harrowingly expensive. But once you reach the top, you're
rewarded with a bird's-eye view.
The life and times of Budgens supermarkets: Little did John Budgen know, back in 1872, that he was founding
a supermarket dynasty that would not rival Tesco or Sainsbury's.
The advance of the hand-drier: Electric driers had advanced little from George Clemens's
first patented invention in 1948. But 45 years later Mitsubishi devised the Jet
Towel and revolutionised the world of hand sanitation.
