computer history if you die.

you're wrong.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know
how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person
died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when
you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of
the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want
to have to restart my collection, again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I
want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not
make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer
when they call.

22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know
what time it is.
23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in
a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but
I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about
1 .7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874
and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for
men to realize that their brain is also important.

I put my fingers in the corner of the stitched seam and then fold it over
onto the other...I guess I'm right handed, so I would fold the right over/onto the left
so that....

(30,947 posts)I am surprised that there are people who do not know how to fold a fitted sheet. When I was first married (which is before any of you were even born), a next door neighbor taught me.

(12,132 posts)4k TV is coming and I want in. I'm just not sure if Blu-Ray will require a new player - they are going to work up some codecs and extensions so BD can physically hold the content but I;m not clear on whether or not existing players will handle it. Not to worry though, my current BD player is my PS3 so if I gotta get a stand-alone for 4k I'll do it.
