Via pencilthin:
The Twin Cities… has 300 miles of bus-only lanes, in which the right shoulder of highways is opened for buses during peak traffic; that’s more than the rest of the USA combined.
Wait wut? You mean other cities don’t do that? How would you even get to work then?

So i got a job that requires me to wear pants everyday.
And a shirt too. What’s up with that? I sit on a telephone in a skyscraper; no one sees me.

Andrea and her boyfriend, Steve, drove down to Des Moines, Iowa this past weekend to visit before a wedding. In case you are wondering, “Hhmm…Which band of lovely Northerners can I have down to visit this year?” I recommend them. Mainly because they are better than the Keebler Elves. They…
I hope you enjoy it. There should be a note included with it explaining why that was the book...

This weekend I discovered that the fan speed for the car’s A/C is tied directly to the MPH speed of the car; the faster you go, the better the A/C works. In 95º weather racing across Iowa turns out to be some odd facsimile of Speed. -Go over 65 MPH or roast.-
As if I needed the excuse.

An actual building wide email sent today or why...
Hello all,
I was in the break room on the 6th floor picking up a twix bar when I noticed that someone had left $1.25 in the vending machine (not pop machine). If you were intending to get something from the vending machine but left without getting anything and you would like your change back, I have it at my desk. I sit right next to Michael Cxxxx.
Thanks!
