4/9     How do you say "Please cover your mouth when you cough." in Mandarin?
        Thanks.
        \_ Untranslatable. Similarly impossible phrases include:
           "No spitting."
           "Do not cut in line."
           "Ching chong ling long ting tong." (I don't actually know what that
            means.)
            \_ Wow. this makes me all sorts of sadpanda.

           \_ Would finding out how it's _written_ in kanji work?  At least
              then you could write it out.  I'm pretty sure those phrases
              exist in japanese.
           \_ (To another standing bus passenger) "Don't rub your penis on my
              buttock."

4/13    "Best-Paying College Major: Engineering"
        http://www.csua.org/u/t07 (finance.yahoo.com)
        Avg. starting salary for Computer Science grads: $63017
        Avg. starting salary for Computer Engineering grads: $60112
        Why is there a difference?
        \_ It's Y!.  WTF do you think they're gonna say?
           Christ it's like asking Fox News for Fair and Balanced repts.
        \_ where's the "Avg # hours worked every week" part of that survey?
           65k/80hrs/week isn't so "Best Paying"
           \_ ssssh.  Don't tell the interns that.  Gotta keep up the worker
              supply!
