Will The Sims Ever Learn How to Cook?

You'd think by now it'd be a science to these guys. Put the food in, start the timer, let the timer go off, and promptly remove the food from the oven. No lollygagging. Don't fall asleep while you're cooking, don't watch TV, don't dance, and no hanky panky with your neighbor. Just wait by the oven, maybe do the dishes, and get the food out of the oven. End of story.

But they won't learn. Otherwise, the lives of The Sims would be as boring as ever. You need fires and spicy romances to keep things interesting.

EA announced today that 100 million copies of The Sims have sold worldwide. Or, in Sim speak, "Huh buh, huh buh ruh buh buh huuuh (word balloon above my head with The Sims box)."

Does that plus sign above your head mean that you're excited about this news are that you're happy to see me? Wait, you want to talk about soccer? That's a total minus sign. No! I don't want to dance!
