Grr. Coworkers have been at lunch for nearly 2 hours now, and while I know it's technically ok for us to take long lunches on Friday as long as we're back by staff meeting time, one of them was bringing me lunch which I'll now have ot eat during the meeting. Grr.
ETA: Ok. Now I'm pissed because they just called and said the Wendy's just disappeared overnight. Not their exact words but, seriously dude, it's on the same street where you ate. I'd have happily gone to get my own lunch, but you said you'd pick me up Wendy's so I would finish up stuff for
your
class tomorrow. Now it's either take whatever you decide to bring me or don't get lunch until I get off at 4.
Jackasses!
The elevator told me that the breakup (divorce and separation) rate in the US is now 40 to 45%.
At lunch, the elevator told me it was 67F outside. Elevators are nothing but lies, damn lies, and statistics.

It is 67F outside. Did it specify exactly where?
The solar system is bullet shaped. [link]
Our solar system flies through space in the shape of a speeding bullet, according to data from NASA's two Voyager spacecraft.
The sun and its planets are known to streak through the void of space at approximately 62,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) an hour.
The system travels within a bubble of solar wind—made of charged particles from the sun—called the heliosphere.
The edge of this bubble collides with the Milky Way galaxy's magnetic field at a distance some 200 times farther from the sun than Earth is.
A research team led by Merav Opher at Virginia's George Mason University found that, just outside the solar system, this interstellar magnetic field is inclined at a 60-degree angle relative to the plane of the Milky Way.
The solar system takes on its streamlined shape as it strikes the magnetic field at this angle, Opher explained.
"The shape of the solar system, this bullet, is really shaped by what lies ahead of us—the interstellar magnetic field," Opher said.
Is that a heliosphere in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
I just read that story about the divorce stats

There's the link to the story on Yahoo News, and it talks about how it was calculated
Did it specify exactly where?
Apparently my elevator believes it exists in Los Angeles, IL.
My elevator doesn't talk to me.
I feel deprived.
My elevator doesn't talk to me.
We don't even have an elevator! (OK, one-story building, but still!)
