I'm so poor right now I actually might try that, I really don't feel bad doing it to my university.

eh? explain.

how do you "return" it without actually returning it? Because that shit wouldn't wash in my book shop...


EDIT: unless u actually walk in and bring the very same book (one sitting in the shop) up to reception? hmm risky but clever i guess.

Casinos have ugly carpet and ugly, or low, ceilings to keep your eyes level where the slot machines are.


I have read a lot about poor sanitation in restaurants but in high end places we take a lot of pride in our cooking and have very high sanitation standards.


Its costs about $2000 for a mexican in california on a visitors visa to get a fake SS card and resident card. They then stay in the country illegally after their visitors visa expires or go back and get a new one every 3 months or so. Most restaurant kitchens are full of employees with this type of documentation.

Two were enough for me and I'll never buy some shitty Apple product again.

Creative Zen all the way...!!!

And no clocks, and most of them have tinting on the inside so you can't fucking tell what time it is.....damn those casinos.

For example...

My uncle/aunt rent the claw machines that allow you to get stuffed animals (regularly found in arcades places) and I found out that the way that thing works is that it has a timer that changes the claws strength. Therefore, if you are playing when the claw is on strong, you are almost guaranteed to get the stuffed animal. In other words, the claw can be weak for 20 min, then switch to strong for 2 min, and then to weak again for 20 min. Those times are adjustable.

Most police Departments have Opticon technology mounted on their light bars. It's a strobe like system that changes the red light signal to green when we need to cross an intersection.

Anyway. Some of you who think flashing your high beams at the light will change it? It won't.

Also, if you travel the speed limit, exactly the speed limit all the time? You'll hit nothing but green lights at every intersection 98% of the time.

How about if I travel double the speed limit?

I'd get all greens, and I'd be where I have to be twice as fast.

Most airline seats fold forward.

In a crash, the passengers will crowd the aisles, causing a massive traffic jam as everyone tries to rush for the doors.

Instead, kick the seat back in front of you forward and crawl onto it. Keep doing that to every seat until you reach an emergency exit.
