Saw this at Gala Darling’s place. 

That elevator thing doesn’t work everywhere…just wanted to put that out there.

    LOL At you trying the elevator thing. I was so going to do that too, just to amuse myself.

    It might work. One building I worked in had one elevator that did it. Just one. LOL

    THIS IS AN AWESOME LIST! I steal from other papers’ bibliographies ALL the time. Ah, the life of a grad student.

    HA!!! I love that. I think you could safely call it “research” at that point.

    Oh god, I adore reading stuff like this, even if I never remember it!

    Aha ha ha!! Everyone always makes fun of me for how i eat my bananas (like a monkey). That rule made me laugh with glee. But no joke, I really like the idea of reversing hangars. And with folded clothing you could turn it around so the collars are facing out.

    Good idea!

    And I hate bananas, but I’d probably eat them monkey-style, too.

    I call foul on the “corrupt” mp3 paper. I dare one of my undergrads to try that on me, hmmph.

    I’ve always had an aversion to the act of peeling bananas. I use a knife or make someone else do it for me. Ick.

    I don’t eat them at all. Weird allergies.

    You know…can we do something boggle style and make a list of the ones we already employ and compare notes? Cause I think that would be funny.

    I need to print this out, too…

    This is absolutely awesome. I need to commit a few of these to memory. Except the one about pooping at work. That one’s kind of crappy. See what I did there? :D
