apply for a gig a NASAOriginally posted by EternalOptimist View Postbut again, like hobbies, someone might get interested
there is a little scintilla of a chance that the interviewer did rocket science, or that he went to the same uni.
It's never happened so far(to me), but I hold out the hope that it may get me a job at least once

del *.* should have asked for Y/N confirmation, or maybe not? I am going to try it no...Originally posted by conned tractor View PostWorked at a place once where one bloke was called delboy. Found out later it was because he had tried del *.* on the test rig results folder to see if it worked. It was an aerospace testing facility.Comment

It was a story they told. I don't know the details, but I also called him delboy anyway. I assume he also pressed Y - bit like the big red button or the button with the sign "do not press".

reminds me of a story, I have no idea if this is true.Originally posted by conned tractor View PostNever been tempted?
A medium sized country pub, the landlord installed a little cherub in the ladies, with a fig-leaf on a hinge over his little winkie.
The fig leaf was connected to a bell that rang in the bar when the fig leaf was raised......
