I had a very similar conversation with one of my co-workers yesterday, the major difference being that she is a researcher and I, the tech person, was the one with the answers. (And the correct cable - she was trying to plug a Firewire 400 cable into a Firewire 800 port, and it wasn't going well.)
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
(And the correct cable - she was trying to plug a Firewire 400 cable into a Firewire 800 port, and it wasn't going well.)
Yes, yes, I see. Clearly she needed two cables to make them fit.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think the air conditioning is still out on my hallway. If this continues, I'm taking my computer and working from home.

While some people use actual vibrators, I just tap the stem near the flowers.
I'm trying to come up with a good Georgia O'Keefe joke here, but it's just not coming together.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

OMG really? Vibrators for plant sex. I find that hilarious.
smonster's heart just leaped and she doesn't know why.
smonster nearly shorted her keyboard with the drooling. GIVE THEM ALL TO ME NOW. The Deco style in particular. ::sigh::

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The news that China may now be the world biggest energy customer comes based on analysis by the International Energy Agency (IEA). According to the IEA, China overtook the U.S. in energy consumption sometime last year.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes, it's just baffling why a chain family restaurant would put macaroni & cheese on their children's menu. Most kids I know would definitely prefer a nice piece of grilled fish with steamed veggies on the side.
Lord knows that's what I eat at Friendly's! Oh no, wait.

Okay, no more turning off the lights when I leave a room.

Now I can't tell if my office is cooling off or I'm just acclimating to the searing heat.
