I work for an internet provider, as tech support. So I get all the goofy calls... One day, an older lady called the service obviously knowing nothing about computers. She said that we (the Internet company) had given her a virus. I asked her how that was possible. She told me that her computer wouldn't go on. I asked her if she had pushed the power button.... She said yes that she had pushed the button twice and it still didn't go on. (I had to call everyone and tell them)
Seen on ABC News on April 1: "Egypt's emerging papyrus technology continues to alarm parents and law enforcement. A new bill introduced today would let the government regulate material found on papyrus. Legislators said paperspace, as it is known to so-called 'writers', is becoming a haven for monotheists, con artists and worse hoping to prey on the young and gullible. A little bit later in this broadcast we will have some tips on how to shield your children from offensive and dangerous material found on the dangerous papyrus."
Tuesday's Wall Street Journal has an article about the Dutch takeover of JFK airport's International Arrivals building. The Dutch have some interesting ideas on how to clean it up: In Amsterdam, the tile under Schiphol's urinals would pass inspection in an operating room. But nobody notices. What everybody does notice is that each urinal has a fly in it. Look harder, and the fly turns into the black outline of a fly, etched into the porcelain. "It improves the aim," says Aad Kieboom. "If a man sees a fly, he aims at it." Mr. Kieboom, an economist, directs Schiphol's own building expansion. His staff conducted fly-in-urinal trials and found that etchings reduce spillage by 80%. "We will put flies in the urinals -- yes," Jan Jansen says in a back office at the Arrivals Building. He is the new Dutch general manager, the boss as of noon today. "It gives a guy something to think about. That's the perfect example of process control." His New York public relations attendant titters. "Fine, laugh at me," Mr. Jansen says. "It works."
