  1. I had an unbearably hard time getting through season 1 of Big Bang Theory for this very reason. The laugh track was just so insulting. It was more painful because it breaks up the flow of the actors who aren't yet totally in touch with their characters and the interaction with others, so it added one more obstacle for them to overcome IMO.

  2. When I was 19 I worked at a very busy convenience store. When the boss trained me, he trained me to NOT punch in the amount tendered (that is, the amount the customer gives me) into the cash register. Instead, I was to count the change up to the amount tendered. "When you get used to it, it's much faster" he said. I was very skeptical, but he was definitely right. After a couple of shifts, I did indeed find it much faster make change that way.

    I also learned the "count up" method when I worked at a job without a register. I swear I learned better math skills in that chip truck than I did at school.

  3. I'd try it because I've always had a "try everything once" attitude and not because I'm trying to prove anything to anyone like this commenter might believe.

    HaHa! This is another article for the gullible secular fools. Just dress them up in a high society setting, has high nutritional value for the health conscious, historically and culturally accepted, and is endorsed by master culinary chefs, then it must be okay to eat insects and other forms of low life. So, some atheist/evolutionist secular fools would rush out to out-class others in the posh/cultured society by promoting its cool and hip to eat insects/worms, thinking they have advanced themselves further in the evolutionary chain. How ridiculously sad? Rejecting our very instincts that eating such detestable creatures are disgusting and it makes us sick to our stomach, just to put up a public face to show others that they are more cultured, just to fit in and to get accepted by others.

    Ever since I was a little person I would always order the oddest thing on the menu. I still do.

  4. This is a neat idea from Soft Moc.

    Bring in your unwanted shoes to their store by Friday and they'll ship them to Haiti.

    If you live downtown Ottawa and don't find a location that's convenient for you, you can drop them off at Minto's Carlisle Building - 221 Lyon Street N (at Gloucester). They'll collect shoes until Friday at noon and bring them to SoftMoc for you.
