Just waiting for Watson to merge with Deep Blue...ever see "Colossus: The Forbin Project"?

Just an ol' sweet song, keeps Georgia on my mind...

It's "Saving", not "Savings", zeni.

You're doing it wrong then. Instead, move the clock back 11 hours & gain that much sleep.

Techically, being a Corp HQ, the place never closes. They have a service (Aramark) that does all the cleaning. There's 7 interconnected buildings, with 3 to 6 stories, they do all that stuff on a schedule, hitting the restrooms twice a day.

Ours autoflush at work, but I'm usually the first one there in the morning and the stench from what was left behind after the last flush the day before is horrible, so it could just be an incomplete flush. Even worse is when they don't flush the can and they were the last person in there the day before. Half the time, it looks like they used an entire roll of tp as well, so you just know that if you flush it, it's gonna clog. Then there's the "unmanned firehose effect" - urine on the top of the urinal...or the large puddle underneath...wtf?

Don't write off Independent films so easily. Some are pretty good. A friend of mine won tickets to see some independent foreign film at The Music Box Theater in Chicago, a beautiful theater built in 1929. The movie (subtitled) was actually very good, but the subtitles were a distraction.

"Karma" is the thing that you wish would catch up to the person that Karma sent to catch up with you.

Geez, it's not like you proposed in front of her & your friends & family, and she screamed "NO!"

Ben Bishop is an LA King BAM - trading is underway!

"I was born about 10,000 years ago There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know I saw Peter, Paul & Moses playing ring aroun' the roses and I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so..."

I beg to differ.

Have to pick up my cat Nicodemus from the vet and take him to the Animal Hospital so he can be watched over the weekend. He has a catheter & IV. Have to pick up special dietary food for him too.

Reminds me of "The Phone Company" in "The President's Analyst". 'cept there, the wires all plugged into the shoe heels.

In Chicago, an open manhole is probably safer - http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/this-sidewalk-could-kill-your-dog/Content?oid=922314

Trade you. I'm wondering if I'll have a job at EOD tomorrow. There are rumors of a bloodbath with our floor to be hit really hard, conference rooms are booked solid...

"90,000 £ in my pajamas, I've got 30,000 French Francs in my fridge...."

Maybe his pocket change was getting low. Or maybe he's taking the Michael Caine attitude. Caine was in a number of Box Office flops in the 80's (ever see "The Island"?), when asked about it he said something like, "I'm an actor, my job is to act. Doesn't matter whether the script is good." I think there may have been something about every part giving him a chance to "hone his craft" too.

I've always used 7-zip.

In the words of the Master, Groucho Marx - "I could never belong to a club that would have me as a member."

What Sun? In the winter, I'm at work about 2 hrs before sunrise. Depending on how busy it is at work (which is a lot lately) I'm usually surprised by how quickly 11 am (lunch) or 3:09 pm (when I usually start shutting stuff down) rolls around. Sleep pattern's are another story - been waking up hourly for no apparent reason. I just read an article from the BBC (from 2012) that said as a culture, the thought of sleeping straight through the night is a relatively recent development. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16964783
