"One upshot of criminal gangs getting involved with unions is that bikies are now demanding a 38-hour work week with sick pay"

Our team leader, trying to be polite and kind when replying to a Teams message from someone asking when/where our next mtg is--invites were sent out on both email and Teams 8 hrs earlier. Person asking has a bit of form already for this.
Bonus: the person asking the question is a dead ringer for David Brent from The Office.

Laughing but also cursing loudly: I put a jar of olives away in the fridge without closing the lid carefully enough, so when I went to move it to get something else out, the jar fell, sending olive brine quite spectacularly all over the inside of the fridge. Well, it was time for a clean anyway.

Grandson asked for me to make done ginger cookies. I told him that it’s supposed to be cooler later this week so that’s when I’ll do the baking. Today turned out to be cooler (earlier at any rate) so I made cookies. As I was taking the last ones out of the oven, grandson came downstairs… right on cue.. we both laughed about his ‘cookie’ sensing capabilities!!

In another post I mentioned that I bought a micro SD card. Here is the box they sent it in. The SD card is the tiny red and white thing next the mouse (there for size reference). ![](//storage.proboards.com/3585093/thumbnailer/gnuQwaxraTsZhbcqrpMe.png)

Nerd humor from Bluesky:
"'Kamala Harris' is a *perfect* rhyme for 'Anomalocaris,' the predatory arthropod that roamed the oceans 500 million years ago—in case anyone wants to start working on that campaign song."

I saw elsewhere that Kamala means Lotus.
So you can have LOTUS for POTUS

Ahh! . I told him that conversation needs alcohol, which wasn't an option at 9:30am. That's 7.30pm in Uki and the sun is well and truly over the yardarm. In fact, the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere. Today I saw a woman with a t-shirt that had a drawing of a wine glass and read, "It's 5 o'clock all day long, I'm retired."

This study, and limerick competition fron the Annals of Improbable Research. 06 LIMERICK CHALLENGE: Small Penises and Fast Cars This month's RESEARCH LIMERICK challenge — Devise a pleasing limerick that encapsulates this study: "Small Penises and Fast Cars: Evidence for a Psychological Link," Daniel C. Richardson, Joseph Devlin, John S. Hogan, and Chuck Thompson, PsyArXiv, January 10, 2023. (Thanks to Richard Stephens for bringing this to our attention.) psyarxiv.com/uy7ph The authors, most of them at University College London, report: "In this experiment, we manipulated what men believed about their own penis size, relative to others. We gave them false information, stating that the average penis size was larger than it in fact is, reasoning that, on average, these males will feel that relatively and subjectively their own penis was smaller; compared to those told that the average penis size was smaller than true average. We then asked them to rate how much they would like to own a sports car. These facts and questions were buried amongst other items giving information and asking for product ratings, so that our hypothesis was masked from participants. We found that males, and males over 30 in particular, rated sports cars as more desirable when they were made to feel that they had a small penis."
