No he or she slipped (watch the back feet) like somebody waxed the surface or something.
Edit: frickin English pronouns
Would actually explain the recording even, they waxed the surface knowing this would happen and recorded the results.

The legs are fully stretched along with the toes and front paws... then it just drops straight down. Wylie would be proud. I just hope to god that was a first floor.

Pretty sure the full video is up on Youtube and the cat ends up dropping less than ten feet onto a handy dustbin. Funny Pic:

I have one of those multi-speed ceiling fans. If you are trying to slow the fan down it is a pain to tell what setting its on cause it takes so long for the blades to slow down. I basically put my hand in the way to detect if it's running at the proper speed or if it's actually off

I basically put my hand in the way to detect if it's running at the proper speed or if it's actually off It is really easy for me to tell when it is going from off to high, so I just pull the string until I feel it kick into high then pull three more times and it is off.

Then punch yourself in the balls for letting a fan make you do math.

We had a fan in our bedroom at our last house that was like this:
1. High 2. Med 3. Low 4. High 5. Low 6. Med 7. High 8. Off
I always knew she was messing with the fan because I could just hear the screaming and the litany of curses from upstairs. Inevitably I'd wait an hour and come up to have it on high with her cowering beneath four blankets with that "Fuck, it beat me." expression on her face. The super intelligent lawyer was brought down by a measly ceiling fan... hehe.

Our fans have remote controls. I just hit the off button.

After you pull the chain, keep holding onto it with a little tension. If the motor is still on you'll be able to feel the vibrations.

Grab a broom and stick the handle in the blades; the fan will stop, and, after a while, permanently. May smell a little, for an hour or so, but it'll be fine after that.

I dunno, maybe my ears are more sensitive but I've always been able to hear the difference between low and off.
What would probably be a smart idea is if they cycled the fans starting from low to high and then off. It's not like most fans on high are quiet.

They need to start making the fans with a little shielded LED indicator light that you can slide a tab and see if it is on or not. DON'T STEAL MY IDEA!

What that screams to me is the futility of educating the American public on anything.
1) Because NASA isn't the authority responsible. 2) Because there's other shit larger than Pluto doing the same nonsense. 3) Because ha I fucked your mom jokes were tired after my first ball dropped. 4) Because Sincerely is fucking spelled wrong.

Mad skills with the rod.

two days ago I was in an interns cube when I noticed she had funny 'fridge magnets stuck to the case of her work P :grin:C. I then politely explained that while they probably won't hurt anything, sticking magnets to your PC is probably not the best idea in the world.

No kidding. Worked in the computer lab at my university as my part time job. Along with running the place, we helped people with what ever computer issues they might have. This included helping cave trolls who still used floppy disk to recover data from their always corrupting floppy disk. Its AMAZING how many grad students there are in the world who apparently save only one copy of their master thesis, and save it on a 3.5 floppy disk.
Keep in mind, my collage years were 2001-2006'ish.

We have a lot of limited access labs around the building. Every now and then someone gets motivated to clean out one they have access to. Last week one of the labs stuck a box outside the door with a 'take it if you need it' sign. It was full of 3.5" & 5" floppies.
