Yeah, according to the most recent article on the matter, almost three quarters of us don't.FoO":1eje5z25 said:hux":1eje5z25 said:FTFY.Crombie":1eje5z25 said:
Really, the question Crombie is asking is "Seriously, this is a tech forum... do people really use other browsers besides Chrome?". To which the answer is, yes. Quite a lot of us use several different browsers not made by google
This happened to me far too many times for comfort during high school....[url=http://meincmagazine.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=22131583#p22131583:1eje5z25 said:bluloo[/url]":1eje5z25]
Frankly, I'm surprised the pole didn't break... that's what it did on me more times than not.

Ever been in an elevator in North America with both a G and an M? Which one do you hit to get out at ground level?
G for Ground? Or is it Garage?
M for Main, or is it Mezzanine?
I get really pissed that I can't just get off at 1 and leave the building and get on with my life.topham":1bm67pc0 said:btmlltt":1bm67pc0 said:That's really dumb.

Too many good ones to post:

There's a small but growing number of buildings which do actually have a 0th floor as ground. I've been looking at apartments recently, and I'd really like to buy one in a building that has its lift marked with -2 (underground carpark, lower level), -1 (...and upper level), 0 (ground), 1, 2, 3 etc - largely on the strength of that numbering systemfitten":3pi3muy8 said:
I was kinda confused by that comic panel. Ground / Garden apartments are never the first floor. I assumed everyone in the US did this, guess not (wooo Chicago).Chuckaluphagus":30tk1kw8 said:

That happened to my chemistry lab partner in high school. Only when the pole snapped, it whipped into his face, shattered his jaw and knocked out half his teeth. He went to prom with some weird contraption around his face, and had to eat his dinner through a straw. He did get plenty of sympathy dances from cute girls though.

Yeah, I bet... those things have a TON of energy stored up in them. When one of mine broke on me once, it sprung back into my thigh. I had a football-sized purple bruise for a month...Bravehamster":3uh8fkpx said:
So what is the proper technique for dismounting when the jump is obviously full of fail?

I've been flung up into the air, flung 20' back, fallen 14' down into the steel planting box, breaking off my steel cleats.... lots of fun.
Seriously, though... there's just no predicting what's going to happen, so you just hope for the best. Better yet, you make sure that you get up enough speed to get through your plant

Actually if you say it very slowly in something close to a Welsh accent, it sounds like "Orange Ewe" - try saying one then the other then one then the other three times slowly.
