It helps me keep adding to this site when you get yours from those links, too. June 2008 Introduction I had an epiphany when I realized that the nap times of my baby Ryan coincided exactly with the couple of hours actually worked in American offices. The Two-Hour Rule The Two-Hour Rule is a law of American business which states that "no salaried employee, employed by a business to work in an office, may exceed two hours of actual work in any business day.
" The Two-Hour Rule does not apply to government workers (police, fire, military, libraries, public works, etc.), independent contractors, services billed hourly or apply outside the USA. The Two-Hour Rule was created to ensure that American business thrived on efficiency, not on dumb hard work, so that Americans could enjoy the lives they had earned. To reward efficiency, the law reads "may not exceed. " I'm not anyone's employee. 42? The Impotence of Proofreading By Taylor Mali.

The sign is comical in itself: stick figure rides up the escalator and bumps his head on a hanging sign, the impact causing VIOLENT RED RAYS OF PAIN. Beware! All is well and good until, armed with a newfound caution, you look around for the offending object and realize that IT'S A SIGN ABOUT THE SIGN ITSELF. It's located above the midpoint of the escalator between the 2nd and 3rd floors of Greenbelt 3. The logic behind the existence of this self-referential sign escapes me! What is it for? Why is it there? Owwww, my head.... Oh dear. But as I told the boingboing dude: To answer your question: no, there was nothing different on the other side.
NOTE 1: It has since been discovered that the sign is just a blocker to prevent people from leaning over the escalator and getting their heads caught between the narrowing wedge of the escalator rail and the metal rafter next to it. NOTE 4: Just how far will this craziness go?? Fullduplex.org is Mike Walkers trip throug. Richazman - Photobucket - Video and Image. 51.photobucket.com/albums/f351/richazman. The Argument Sketch. One giant step for home entertainment? | t. By Sam Fleming Updated: 10:03 GMT, 11 July 2006 FIFTY years ago the Queen pulled a lever at Calder Hall nuclear plant and ushered in Britain's nuclear age. Today, the government begins its latest campaign to convince British taxpayers that they should embrace fission as their energy of choice.
The long-awaited Energy Review is set to conclude that nuclear power should play a role in ensuring security of supply and reducing carbon emissions. Recommended measures are expected to include streamlined planning rules and a faster reactor licensing process. But it is a measure of a financially disastrous half century of atomic experimentation that the leading players in the next phase of new build are likely to be foreign energy giants, trying to tighten their stranglehold on Britain's power market. British Energy has just emerged from near-bankruptcy, while our other remaining independent utilities may not have the critical mass to play a major role.
Analysts say their caution is justified. Study: Dolphins Not So Intelligent On Land. GAINESVILLE, FL—Although dolphins have long been celebrated for their high intelligence and for appearing to have a complex language, a team of researchers at the University of Florida reported Monday that these traits are markedly less evident on dry land. According to study researchers, a group of 25 bottlenose dolphins removed from their holding tanks failed 11 exercises designed to test their basic cognitive abilities and reasoning skills.
"The dolphins were incapable of recognizing and repeating simple gestures," said study co-author Dr. Scott Lindell. "Their non-verbal communications were limited to a rapid constriction and expansion of the blowhole, various incomprehensible fin motions, and heavy tremors while they lay prone on the lab table. " After capturing the dolphins from the ocean, Lindell and his colleagues tagged them and placed them under the intense, high-wattage lights of a moisture-proof lab. "Their learning curve was actually negative," Lindell said. 20 Craziest Scientific researche. 20 Craziest Scientific researches Published on 11/10/2006 «Acute Management of the Zipper-Entrapped Penis» (1990) Presented by J.
