Offhand, I'd say anything you have to adjust shouldn't be worn to the office, especially strapless tops of any sort. Aside from propriety, a lot of offices are aggressively air conditioned and the wearer will be cold.

And most places that ban t-shirts won't mind a nice t-shirt type top - I think it's the (1) undershirt type t-shirt and (2) ones with pictures or sayings on them that will be objectionable.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My workplace has no dress code that I'm aware of, but I always wear nice jeans (no holes or obvious fraying), nice shirts (not t-shirts), and flats (instead of tennis shoes or flip-flops). So I feel dressier than most around here.

My workplace has a list of prohibited items (sweats, tank/tube/etc. tops, ripped jeans, cutoff shorts) but otherwise is on the casual side of business casual. For instance, I'm in shorts today (and wish I wasn't since it never got as warm as it was supposed to).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tube tops or other strapless tops at the office, yes or no? Even if they're under an unbuttoned cardigan?

Yeah, I'm going to say no. I'm not crazy about sleeveless at all to work, and I know I'm way in the minority on that one. (although under something I guess it's fine)

is flinging a human 100 ft with a trebuchet an obviously bad idea?

Or merely an idea whose time has come?

It all depends on the landing zone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It all depends on the landing zone.

Which in this particular case was a few feet too far....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is it just me, or is flinging a human 100 ft with a trebuchet an obviously bad idea?

Around here? Your answer might not be the norm. IJS.

So how did kangaroos get to Australia? After the Noah's flood, I mean. There are several theories (via Conservapedia):

"After the Flood, these kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land with lower sea levels during the post-flood ice age, or before the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart, or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters."

Well OK then.

Wait, are there really creationists who believe that Pangea (the one giant continent) broke up and the continents all moved to their current locations all in the last 6000 years?

Oh, and there was a post-flood ice-age?

Also, I learned a new word:

Their entry on kangaroos, for instance, says that, "like all modern animals . . . kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood."

You may not recognize the word "baramin." It's a 20th-century creationist neologism that refers to the species God placed on earth during Creation Week. Special for kids: I wouldn't use that word on the biology final. Although maybe your parents could sue the local school board for failing to teach the Book of Genesis in science class.

Still, that first 95 feet would probably be glorious.
