Office Prank - Aluminum Foil(ed)

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

From my experience a great office prank involved aluminum foil. A friend’s office was covered in foil and believe it or not after we took it out of the oven it was gooey on the inside and crisp on the outside.

Anyone else have experiences “decorating” an office as a joke. Post some pics on this site and lets see how creative you can be and how annoyed you can make a co-worker. ;-)

Duct Tape Can Do Anything

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

duct-tape-baby.gifFrom my experience duct tape can fix most things. Yes, as the picture shows, it can even babysit your kids.

I found this site to help encourage other uses for duct tape.

Of course, there is also a book, The Jumbo Duct Tape Book that makes duct tape even more indispensable.

Google Confirms Moon Made of Cheese

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

From my experience on the http://moon.google.com web page I found out the moon is indeed made of cheese. I had my doubts at one time, especially when there was talk of the man in the moon, but now I know that is pure foolishness. Google’s mapping program, which shows the Apollo 11 - Apollo 17 landings on earth’s moon, will also show that the moon is made of cheese when you zoom out to the highest setting.

Hard to believe? Yes, but who would doubt the authenticity of Google and Google Maps. Try it yourself at http://moon.google.com. All your chilhood dreams are now in question.

Update 9/13/2007: Google has removed the cheese image from the moon maps page page. The screen shot will have to suffice.

Google Moon Gets Major Updates

“This update brings higher-resolution map imagery, text search,
and photos and stories from every Apollo landing,” stated
Michael Weiss-Malik, a software engineer, on the Google LatLong
Blog.

He then continued, “We even included Street View-style panoramas
of the moon’s surface, taken by the Apollo astronauts …
something you won’t see anywhere else. And last but certainly
not least, we tossed in scientific charts that are good enough
for actual mission planning and science classrooms alike.”

From my experience when you are at a restaurant and asking for another pickle wedge because the pickle wedge that given to you was pathetic in both size and visual presentation, you need to be specific about the reason you are asking for another pickle wedge. Otherwise, you may get another crappy pickle wedge or two. Thank you, Baker’s Crust, for three of the sorriest pickle wedges I ever saw or ate. Yes, I wasn’t too proud to eat them.

Now here is a nice size pickle wedge.

P.S. The Jersey Grinder I ordered was very good.

Things Not to say during surgery

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

SurgeonFrom my experience as a nurse in an operating room, I have found out that there are a few things that one should not say whilst the patient is still awake.

  1. Oops!
  2. Damn!
  3. Is that suppose to be there?
  4. It doesn’t usually look like that.
  5. I didn’t tell you to cut that!
  6. What do you mean we’re missing an instrument!
  7. Get my lawyer on the phone.
  8. Call my office and tell them I don’t know when I’ll be there.
  9. I hope this goes quick & easy…I didn’t get much sleep last night.
  10. Get the attending physician…now.
  11. Hold the book where I can see it. OK, now turn the page.
  12. Doesn’t anyone here know how to work this thing?
  13. When is lunch?

Frying Bacon

From my experience you should never fry bacon without wearing a shirt. Hot grease hurts. Ouch.
