If we’re getting down to brass tacks, NASCAR is frickin’ boring, and sailing around the world is really frickin’ boring.
I once read a book about one of the first solo sail around the world competition... one of the competitors committed suicide by jumping into the water after the first three days, and another one froze and didn't sail away from the sight of land for a week, until he finally returned... very strange stuff.

The sailing part is not boring, the going around in circles for months part is boring even if it does get hairy at times. ;)

I wonder what @atferrari has to say about this:

With roots in psychoanalysis, the psicotécnico included a Rorschach inkblot test and what is called the “persona bajo la lluvia,” a test which involves drawing a person standing in the rain. Every aspect of the drawing is examined to create a psychological profile: size, placement on the page, pen pressure, the way the lines are drawn, even the time it takes to finish.

The federal government is getting in on the stupid testing too. Just had my annual physical and the doc gave me the new required medicare test. One part was to draw the face of a clock. Then put the hands in at 3:30. A lot of other dumb questions too.
