Other factors affecting the Apathy Radius

Empirical studies (conducted at many institutions of higher education across the land) have shown that the Apathy Radius is affected by the following factors:
* Imminent parental visit - apathy radius significantly increases to encompass entire dwelling (and occasionally nearest bin-bag retail outlet)
* Marijuana consumption - AR decreases, although an increased likelihood of apathy tunnelling between the sofa and the nearest 24-hour garage has been observed.
Also, it has been shown that a TV remote control is encompassed by an equiapathetic surface, unless the remote in question is not easily visible (ie under sofa), in which case watching ITV2 all afternoon can seem a desirable outcome.
There are rumours of apathy feedback mechanisms involving daytime televison. However, I can't be bothered to find the reference.
