Taking that idea to its awful logical conclusion.

Travel to work on a bus full of exercise bikes:

The human race is doomed. Time to let something else have a go.

They will be doomed as soon as the bus has to brake hard to avoid crashing into a cyclist or an expensive German made car! Imagine the resulting tangle inside!

That something else is called Donald Trump.

  Then the planet's doomed as well! :jester:

Where's the "worrying" button when you need it.

I normally don't care about thread purity in Wheeltappers, but let's please not go there with The Donald.  It's a fast downward spiral to lockdom.

 

Biologics (unless we're talking about gene splicing or other technological inventions) are out of scope of the topic.

This morning, I managed to break one of the self service checkouts in WHS!

 

There is a promotion of a free water bottle with my Daily ToeRag but only a certain size. I mistakenly scanned the wrong sized bottle in and had to get the shop assistant to sort it out. The machine gave a "Run Time Exception" quoting the line of code on the screen!!! The assistant kindly took my payment and I left him to sort it out.

Not unusual I suspect as I have the same with them in Asda and Argos - the latter when rebooted came with WinXP

How about ADSL filters; nothing wrong with them until you go broadband problems and the stock response from the IT gurus is first to get a new ADSL filter. Think I must have more that the local B&Q. Surely there must be some way of checking them off line ?

Regrettably not.
