In the Einstein Room, time always seems to travel much slower on the inside, than on the outside.
The Copernicus Room is smack-dab in the center of the building.
The Planck Room isn’t very big…
(this is fun)
DAMMIT!
I was all set to make a quantum mechanics joke, like “well, the reason the conference room can’t be located is that someone out there knows how fast it’s going!”
I both love and hate this place.
My favorite, especially with the non-computer literate, is to take a screenshot of their desktop, then dump all of their icons into a folder and drag it off the screen. When you post the screenshot as the wallpaper, they won’t be able to click any of their “icons.” Actually, it even gets people who are good with computers for a minute, as well.
Unless they’re aware of this prank. Then the retaliation ensues. And some penis.
For some reason that reminds me of my zine/apa* days.
One fanzine had a cartoon attached to someone else’s memoirs of his early days in Comics fandom – Legion of Super-Heroes fandom to be specific.
In the cartoon a fan producing a zine or apazine by himself was beside himself with panic. Because of an oversight, he had made the entire copy run come out UPSIDE-DOWN! :eek:
- TBJ
- “apa” means Amateur Press Asscoaition, for those not on the know.

That was done to me in one of the computer classes I took years ago. It was part of our “This PC is broken. Fix it.” tests. Our instructor was damned devious in how he broke some of the systems - like pulling power cables from the jumpers on the motherboard, and then tucking them back into the remaining wires so it wasn’t obvious that something was missing. On the screen shot trick, he went several steps better. Once, he made sure the toolbar did not have the time showing when he took the shot, so that way seeing the time not change wouldn’t give you a clue. Second, he made the display an active web page so you had to turn that off first before you could even get to the icons.
How do you get the folder back? AutoArrange? Keep bumping the resolution up?
I’m so disappointed. It works on my computer, but not my supervisor’s.
We recently moved into a pair of new buildings, side by side. I can never remember which building is the North Building and which one’s the South Building. All I know is that our building gets the afternoon sun, and the other one gets the morning sun.
It would have been too easy to call them the East Building and the West Building.
Switch out the graphics cards 
Am I the only one who wished they were on the naming committee, just to try and sneak one named Lizardo, Zarkov, Blofeld or something?
[And of course there’s the Plato room: you can’t use the actual room, just it’s shadow]
I don’t recommend using the Faraday Room – you can’t pick up Wifi or do any teleconferencing there. And avoid scheduling meetings in the Tesla Room – too many laptops have been fried in that one, due to the freakish static electricity problem.
Now that the Feynman [“Feyman”] matter has been resolved, it sounds like Karen could use a fifteen-minute bongo break. 
But do try to get all the supervisors together in the Marie Curie room.
If all goes well they will be sterilized before they can reproduce.
I need to get Locator Database Guy in there…
“Help him, help the bombadier!”
I’m the bombardier! I’m fine!
“Then help him!”
“Help who?”
If you need a drop-in room, the Millikan room is available.
best I could do
The Feyman room?
I never knew David Bowie was a scientist, spiders on Mars or not.
