short takes

[cellio]

Prior to receiving an invitation to one I had not heard the word "webinar", but I instantly understood what it meant. That's a good sign in new vocabulary. (Contrast with, for example, "blog".) Not that I'm eager to start talking about webinars (let alone holding them), but still.

This week's episode of 24 included a PSA saying, essentially, "not all muslims are terrorists". Well duh. If the show were one of those fake documentaries I could see something like that, but doesn't everyone understand that 24 is fiction? And anyway, it looks like that's going to become very, very obvious next week, unless the previews are very misleading.

Someone posted "flushing 101" posters in the restrooms at work. I first saw the poster in a stall where the previous occupant had not flushed. I hope that wasn't the person who posted the sign.

I've had problems with holders which you can't get out until you rip the cardboard, so...

(from that link:) You think that, if you leave things long enough, the washing-up pixies will come and clean them, ready for the next time.

I had an ex-housemate that we swore thought this way. There were obviously Little People who followed him around and made all the chores go away. No, really. We have pictures of the fall-out.
