“Um, Bob. We’re out of toner.”
“Bob, the copier’s out of toner.”
“Okay. I got it.”
“The copier is out of toner, Bob. Please take care of it.”
“Yeah. I got it.”
“Dammit, Bob, the copier needs more toner.”
“Okay, okay. I got it.”
“Bob, why is there no toner in the copier room?”
“I got it.”
Bob went to lunch and never returned.
Moral of the Story: Don’t piss off Bob, and never try to vacuum spilled toner.

Man shoots Wintergreen Lifesavers with a pellet gun, creates triboluminescence, records it at 28,000 frames per second [via].
Static electricity fun: Trooch and I did this in college. When the winter humidity is down and even touching a door knob gives you a zap, get a fluorescent tube, turn off the lights. With a buddy holding the other end of the tube, start shuffling feet on the carpet. The tube will flash intermittently, and the stoners will go, “Whoa…. dude…”
TRUE. In 1504, Christopher Columbus thwarted a mutiny and saved himself and the lives of his crew by perpetrating a hoax [via].

Saturday Matinee – Human Fountains, The Band and The Black Crowes.
Might have been better with four NFL cheerleaders in skimpy wet chamois skins, but that’s just my non-judgemental politically correct sexist micoagressional opinion [via].
