Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

The only thing I don't really like is salmon, and other than that I don't mind.Originally posted by Boudica View Postworked as a waitress in my teens, i was hopeless, people get so annoyed when you get their order wrong or just bring one steak for two of them, then i realised it could be fun to do it deliberately, especially if they were arseyAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

So noisy that for the first few days I was getting singing in my ears during my post work bath. Oh, it was hot and sweaty too.
They didn't have ear protectors in those days.
I managed to escape to the warehouse after a while. Never ending cups of tea coupled with some heavy lifting. I didn't need a gym to keep up with my training, some of those wool skips were over 100 Kg. Knackering yes, but when I got back to college there a definite improvement in the weights I could handle.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
