I saw 5 people with fedoras in my town yesterday. Dunno what was the reason, but at least 3 of them were together (maybe 4). Each had a different colour. (and one had a brown one that didn't go at all with his suit). My life is so great.

They're the special biohazard containment agent, out to deal with m'laria.

And that, kids, is how a sphinx is created.

Nope, that's how the sub-Saharan African mafia sends a message. The leg was a newbie making a mistake.

Hello, Sig

[penguinofhonor]

There were like four freshmen at my college who always wore fedoras. You usually only saw two at a time, but sometimes they all had lunch together.

New phone.  Or rather incredibly old phone.  My touchscreen kissed the pavement on its corner and its webbed pretty bad.

Plus side:  I hated touch screen phone.  I hated the phone's carrier and I hated the phone.

Minus:  Touchscreen is fairly convenient, while I liked some keyboards (like the Blackberry) I hate the idea of a physical qwerty keypad, and this phone is old.

At least the guy DID have a suit. Could be worse. But eh, it's a nice hat all in all and connotations aside. It's just that wearing one and, say, cargo pants is like wearing a rainbow-colored baseball cap with a tuxedo. Does not compute.

But, my actual reason for posting: we've got some assignments to do before the Biochemistry lab on Monday, and they are STUPID easy.

I am not exaggerating. One of the question is, for example: Alice and Bob are cooking 1 kg of potatoes each. Whose potatoes will be more salty:
a) Alice cooks them in 1 liter of water, Bob cooks them in 2 liters of water, both used 1 tspn of salt
b) Both cook them in 1 liter of water, Alice added 1 tspn of salt, Bob added 2 tspns.
c) Alice cooks the potatoes in 1 liter of water with 1 tspn of salt, Bob in 2 liters using 2 tspns.

What's the density of the salt, that can change things and it varies a surprising amount depending on the source and production method and suchlike. MEASURE ALL THINGS BY WEIGHT AND IGNORE HYGROSCOPY

Yeah, that's the thing. It's so painfully stupid I'm starting to think of a way this might be devious, but all others are like that.

Ooooh a logic puzzle.

A) Alice
b) Bob
C) Neither

...Yeah, that chemistry question is just obnoxious and bad.

I love the Power Glove Obnoxious Question.

It's so bad.

WTF is gamergate?  Why would you name a gaming anything with a name one letter off from an online games distributor for one, and for two what could possibly have happened in the gaming world to be comparable to fucking watergate?

[Tawa]

Some chick named Zoe Quinn made a game, stuff got out about her using all sorts of lies and trickery to get favorable reviews, the thing ended up a shitstorm.

There were a few threads about it here, if you're willing to trawl that far back.

[Furtuka]

To the last part of the question I noticed that lately the internet has been calling nearly every scandal or shitstorm "somethinggate" these days.

Replace "the internet" with "everybody," and replace "these days" with "since Watergate" and you're right on the money.
