I asked Supplies for a Stanley knife to help with opening some boxes. they told me I can't have a Stanley knife as it's too dangerous, I will have to use the open blade of a pair of scissors. Seriously...no irony there at all.

Apparently lots of technologies were invented long time ago but big corporations do not want us to know the truth.
Thanks to brave people from bnettv we know that RSS, mobile phones and lots of other stuff were known during 1969.

I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I needed to exchange, so I went to
the currency exchange window at the local bank.
Short line.
Just one lady in front of me...an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars and she was a little irritated . . .
She asked the teller, 'Why it change?? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I get hunat eighty??
Why it change?'
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, 'Fluctuations' .
The Asian lady says, 'Fluc you white people, too'.

Those of you who work in the web development area probably know, that firefox and explorer parse css in a slightly different ways.
Things were looking perfectly fine in Firefox, but in IE the layout was a little bit off. (margins of the blocks).
I asked my dev - "could you make sure the layout in IE is straight as well" She - "No, because It will damage alignment in Firefox". She never heard of IEfix. Francly I can't work with her anymore.
