    A program crashing after you try to close it is its way of saying "You can't fire me, I quit."

    If I was to run NASA I'd make all ground crew dress like apes whenever Astronauts returned to Earth.

    Pet stores should post "Chameleon" on empty reptile cages just to see how long people would stand and look.

    Sometimes when I look at a wall clock, I swear I see it tick one second backwards.

    If (in the color theory) tinting is adding white to a color and shading is adding black to a color, then why do we call it tinting our windows?

    TIL...
    Actually you are not coloring, toning or shading your windows you put some sort of UV films so the verb refers to action of putting something that reduce the amount or the type of visible sun light or so called visible light transmission (VLT). We see the light as white hence we use tint here.

    Interesting fact, but now I question why we put tint on our windows but shades (sunglasses) over our eyes? Both are doing the same job to reduce VLT. Maybe "Eclipse Tints" isn't as marketable?

    For a song entitled "Piano Man" it sure does have a lot of harmonica.

    I wish supermarkets posted recipes on their websites that you could just click and all the ingredients are added your basket.

    I guess I should look at online grocery stores. The only thing I expected was Amazon to use a drone to deliver me a Coke Zero. Nothing fancy like they have down under.

    My dog likes to enjoy certain rawhide bones in the bathtub. Why he chooses to take them into the bathtub to eat them, no one will ever know.
