Why are we bored?

Let me maturely avoid the obvious joke of reading a blog about boredom to be a sure sign of chronic boredom which is flirting with manic depression. But wait, I didn't.

But still, let's analyse the definition of boredom. The Oxford medical dictionary defines boredome as a state of mind where the brain is SO inactive that it is known to cause drooling, yawning and even sudden death.
Ok, I lied about the latter.
But that's still worth thinking about. And that may cure your boredom.

Okay, let's do the title some justice.
Why are we bored? Hmmm... That's quite a boring question to start with, innit?
But, I'll talk about ice creams instead.

Did you know that man is not an acronym for monkey ancestor nonsense?
(You might have... as I didn't know it until 10 seconds earlier)
But did you know that you will be dead longer than you will be alive?  

But.

Yes, I lied about the ice-creams. And I'm too bored to tell you why.
Ice-creams are generally cold.
Got ya! I lied about lying. Didn't see that coming did you?
Neither did I.
