-Look smart at parties
-Impress the opposite sex with you knowledge of the useless
-Impress the same sex with you knowledge of the useless
-And more (I think)


The only one I can think of right now is
Bungie Studio's first game was GNOP, a monochrome pong rip off designed by Jason Jones, who later went on to right the Marathon and Halo story lines

That one made me lol!

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Interesting
