This is one of those My Desk posts – simply because I love showing off my desk. I am a lousy housemate. When I study, I am like the Zerg. I start out from one location, and move to another, with my notes sprawling all over the place. Here’s a photo of my house before I . . . → Read More: I Am A Lousy Housemate. AMA I’m down with a cold now, and doing my assignments. So while I was watery-eyed and blowing my nose, my housemate admonished me for being such a tree killer. Instead, he said, I should use a handkerchief. Now, blowing snot on a piece of cloth and putting it back into your pocket is a very gross . . . → Read More: Grossness Levels I used to work for Optus. Interesting job in the beginning, and shite job towards the end. Yesterday I was in the shopping centre. I was seated, staring at people passing by, taking photos of hot Japanese chicks, and contemplating life the universe and everything else (the answer is most obviously 42). Out of no where, a woman . . . → Read More: Do I Look Like I Work For Optus? Regular readers know I really love Terry Pratchett’s works. I’ve often talked about the great man’s works. Today, courtesy of Tyler, I give you another reason why you should just [heart] that fellow. I present you Nicholas Barbon.

Google launched their own satellite, with a GeoEye 1 camera on board. Think of all the things they can do now. As one commenter on Valleywag said, just attach a Advanced Tactical Laser, and you practically have a low powered Death Star waiting to kill anyone with pinpoint accuracy. You see, our spies have located the plans for Google’s mind domination. The data brought to us by the Yahooligan spies pinpoint the exact location of the Google Mind Control Towers1 (what do you think powers the Google MentalPlex). We also know that their main weapons systems are not yet operational. But most important of all, we have learnt that Larry and Sergei, and Eric and Marissa will be personally overseeing the final parts of this construction. Many Yahooligans died to bring us information. Admiral Ackbar, please. Ahem. Admiral Ackbar here. Take evasive actions! Green group, stick close to holding sector MV-7! IT’S A TRAP!
So, I found out today that Canada has 2 other currencies (3 if you count their Tire Dollars) floating around other than the Canadian Dollar. They are the Calgary Dollar and the Toronto Dollar. Strangely enough, because they are private currencies, they are on par (i.e. have the same value) with Canadian Dollars. So, that’s rather pointless, no? That got cfgt and I thinking, what if, Australia would have its own city-based currency? Assuming they’re all legal tender, and government sanctioned, it doesn’t have to be on par with AUD anymore. So, using production output (and general wealth) we would have this value sequence: Continue reading City Dollars |
