So clean you could eat off it
Category: buffalo
One good thing about buffalo. Everytime I go down in the buffalo
subway I am amazed at how clean the tracks are compared to everywhere
else I have ever visited.

Will you really eat off it.

The brown rat spread to Alberta. Apparently, the cold weather and snow didn't bother it. But the Province of Alberta did. In approximately 10 years, the brown raticide was complete in the early 1960s.

I don't think any rats would survive such weather...

An, Ban, Gan list-style-type
Category: web
I was working with CSS for HTML lists today and decided to look over the specs for list-style-type options. I was fully aware of image, disc, squae, circle, alpha, latin, and greek but what surprised me was the inclusion of georgian and armenian numbering options . How did they make it into the basic CSS spec for list types? It seems like such a small isolated part of the world.

Armenia Numerals

Georgian numerals don't even have a wikipedia page.

Software patents suck
Category: web
Can you believe this? I hope the facebook people die. If the U.S. goes further in this direction than I am leaving.

Facebook received a patent for:

"dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network." In the most basic terms, this means Facebook has patented technology that delivers the stuff filling up your newsfeed like shared



Think how ridiculous this is. Its one thing when you do something unique but "dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network." is something that was going on way before facebook.

"dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network."

As in helping random people, jealous ex'es and other demented loonies spy on your every move and perverts stalk you effortlessly? Thank you. I pass.

Ugli fruit
Category: food
The ugli fruit sure is ugly and the taste is not unique enough to warrant looking at it. It basically tastes like a tangerine.

Sign at work
Category: signs
Does everyone see the irony in this. (E:enknot) put this in the microwave at work to remind people to be clean with it and now the sign is dirty too.

Maybe I will take a picture of our department's microwave. I refuse to use it. I asked for a new one but that is not happening.

What does the fine print say?
