we get bonus points for choosing recycled materials for our new carpeting at work. I don't know who gives us the points, or if we can cash them in for stuff, or just makes some moron in management look good on paper. Prolly the latter.

TRUE FACT!!! I used to live by Seaside and had to drive through that stretch a couple times a week. Creepy stuff goes down! I broke down out there for a few hours one night and all of us in the car were convinced we were going to die. lol XD

When I was really little I used to hear the story about 'Bandage Man' a lot, it's a local urban legend that used to scare me s***less.

skipping breakfast can make your body go into starvation mode and actually make you store the fat from your next meal, thus gaining weight.

Also: Diet soda does the same thing, your body thinks you have calories from the fake sugar, and when you don't, it freaks out and hoards the energy from the next things you eat in fat!

Does that mean that Interstate 5 has no straight stretches over 14 miles long, or that Highways and freeways don't count as roads?

It is legal for a US company to use bribes in foreign countries, provided this is the only way they are able to do business in said foreign country. Yes, they must document the transactions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyrax is related to the elephant. It's an hyrax. My bad, I got marmots and hyraxes mixed up. Had a time remembering hyrax, all I could remember was the x. As if they are Basque, yeah right.

Aiglet, from the French word for little needle.

350 ft underwater: Maximum diving depth of a fully grown blue whale, the largest (known) animal on earth.
After 3,280 feet, light can no longer penetrate water.
5,280 feet is one mile.
13,120 feet underwater is called the Abyssal Zone. Water pressure around this level reaches around 11,000 pounds per square inch. Creatures such as the angler fish, the fangtooth, and the flashlight fish can survive at these depths.
20,000 feet underwater is called the Hadal Zone. Pressure levels reach around 16,000 psi, over 1,100 times the pressure on the surface. Although sparse, life exists at these levels.
31,000 feet is the average cruising altitude of the average commercial plane.
36,000 feet: the deepest known part of the ocean, located in Mariana's Trench. Only about ten percent of the ocean floor in this region has been mapped, so there are likely spots that are even deeper.

And that bit of knowledge gives me super heebie-jeebies.

I can quote you on that one, right?

GoodWill does not know how much things are worth. In the last few weeks, I've encountered a $5 HDMI cable ($25), a $10 power supply ($70), a $25 Pentium III Motherboard (worthless), a $20 set of speakers ($150), and a $20 Nintendo 64 ($15). Where do they even get their prices?

I think $20 for a N64 is fair, some of the games still sell for that much.

But I can't imagine playing games on an N64 that DOESN'T have Pikachu on it <3

Was the tester sober when he/she went to sleep?

The Cow · « **Reply #998 on:** February 06, 2010, 03:40:27 pm »

yep, but if the tester was drunk there's always the possibility that loss of urinary control coincided with testing and that results changed due to that variable.. personally i think if the testee wasn't aware of what test was occuring before sleeping they would not necessarily resist the subconscious urge to urinate. just my hypothesis however.

A working nintendo 64 for is easily worth $50 to me. The thing is that supply and demand prices it at $15 used without A/V adapter sold as-is no returns...statistically speaking and referencing the particular system in question.

Thing is, I don't have money to spend on N64 games right now, otherwise I'd just go over to Game Trader (a much more reliable and much less corporate source) and get what I need there.
