![]() ![]() ![]() The origins of The Game are uncertain. One theory is that when two men missed their last train and had to spend the whole night on a platform, they tried not to think about their situation and whoever did first, lost.[2] Another is that it was invented in London in 1996 "to annoy people".[1] The reported earliest known reference on the Internet is from 2002.[1] The Game is an example of ironic processing, also known as the White Bear Phenomenon, in which attempts to avoid certain thoughts make those thoughts more persistent.[9] A classic example of ironic processing is Dostoevsky's quote: "Try to pose for yourself this task: not to think of a polar bear, and you will see that the cursed thing will come to mind every minute." Seem like you'll didn't find this funny.... :/

Dostoesvsky was a normal guy with just too (or maybe just enough) much time on his hands.

What? No. Do I (through my posts) look remotely Afrikaans?

Well my name is typically English (as is my surname) but my family has been Afrikaans for the last 5 generations.

Oh. Either way, my name is not Pieter. How did you come to that conclusion?
