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

"You make art smaller in Photoshop; why can't you make it bigger in Photoshop, too?"

Um... just say, "You can make a steak smaller by eating part of it. But you can't make a steak bigger."

Or else say that "To make a graphic smaller, you throw away information. To make a graphic bigger requires information you don't have."

Or hit him over the head with a clue-by-four until he gets it... or no longer cares.

San Francisco’s Answer to Westboro Baptist Church

Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest in front of Twitter’s San Francisco office on Thursday, but found themselves severely outnumbered by a crowd of absurdist pranksters, including guest blogger EDW Lynch above.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ugh, Daisy, that link makes me despair for humanity.

Wackiness! In San Francisco!

Whodathunkit.

Why the hell were Phelps's whackaloons protesting Fiddler on the Roof?

They don't necessarily protest the event, they protest at the event to garner attention. I once went to a Christmas concert they were protesting at.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I just chalk that up to one more thing people outside of our department-our team really-don't understand. Much like deadlines.

This graphic we got a powerpoint for today? Has to be created by Monday so it can go to development Tuesday so it will have been in QA to go live the next Tuesday.

I think they really think that those HP commercials are real.

Another random trivia question involving a submarine:

Once upon a time, a submarine did something no other submarine had done. After which, it radioed back to headquarters, giving its location in latitude but not longitude.

What did the submarine accomplish? Bonus question: What was the message?

eta: to fix question.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I liked the I HAVE A SIGN! It's subtly mocking much like Steve Carrell in Anchorman.
