    But that's not stereotypical...
    It actually is, relatively speaking.

    Had to limp my car to the repair garage when I was going to take it in for routine oil change.

    Mice had got into it again, this time they chewed through the spark plug wires.

    Now my car is stuffed with dryer sheets in every spot I can easily get to and know there is no risk of fire (sadly not that many with my tiny engine compartment). With any luck it'll keep the bastards out. Otherwise I'm going to have to find someone with a good jack so I can get at a few more spots.

    Few things stress me out more than problems with my car.

    You should try to reduce the mouse population. The next time you level up, assign some points to the trap making.

    I've never seen a single mouse in Australia that wasn't in a zoo or some sort of captive environment. Like Kraco said, increase your traps? Perhaps add a predator or two?

    I can't remember to be honest. It wasn't on my priority to-see list all those years ago. I can only assume that if I had seen one, it would have been there or something.

    I should probably have said pet shop instead or something, since I actually remember seeing them there.

    The ultra venomous spiders and snakes must eat them all.

    edit: Australia appears to have plagues of mice.

    Interesting. Guess I live too cleanly and have nothing to feed them with.

    Is it really that hard to tell the truth by default?

    That reminds me of a tweet they showed on Tosh.0 where someone tweeted that zoos in Africa would have animals we consider to be common like dogs and cats. F'in' hilarious.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Fun Fact: The zoo in Kabul, Afganistan has the country's only pig.

    It was quarantined after suffering a bout of swine flu.

    Holy shit, the stuff you read in the news! This is from the article you linked:
    One fighter climbed into the lion enclosure but was immediately killed by Marjan, the zoo's most famous inhabitant. The man's brother returned the next day and lobbed a hand grenade at the lion leaving him toothless and blind.

    That is hilarious! And I think they may have squirrels in Korean zoos (South, of course). You almost never see them in cities.

    That's sad, no squirrels running around college campuses in Korea? Another reason not to visit.

    However, if they let them breed as normal in the wild (city), they'd multiply and overrun the place, much as any rodent species would.

    It saddens me when people can't do their jobs.

    I ordered 2 text books with overnight shipping from amazon. Waited at home all day today, only to find out that the items were apparently already delivered. It turn out that the guy in charge of delivering my books couldn't even read the label correctly and delivered it to some location across town. I drove there to talk to the people and apparently they haven't received anything. So either those people lied to me or the person i talked to also gave me the wrong address.

    The best part is that today is Friday, so now i have to wait till Monday to get some sort of proper answer as to where the hell my books are. Meanwhile, i have several assignments due next week that requires these books.

    I take it that these weren't registered and simply delivered to anyone who was at the "address"?

    I've been getting wrist pains lately. At first I thought it might have been the new keyboard, and it probably was.

    (The story to that was that I bought a new keyboard but thought it was "too low" with the legs extended, so attached custom bits to make it tilt higher. Having overcompensated it tilted my wrists too far, and since putting the keyboard back to default my wrist pain has improved. The default tilt with legs actually feels right now.)

    But now it's mostly my right wrist that's hurting, and it seems to have been relieved by giving it some support when I'm using my mouse. The current implementation is to put a soft spectacle case underneath. Strange that it's only happened in the last week or so, and that I haven't experienced anything like it for the last 3 or 4 years that I've had my mouse in the same position.

    Does anyone use mousepads these days? Flat, or wrist support ones? Any experience with wrist pain or Oppai mousepads? :P

    Had this happen to me (see previous post a few pages back in this thread).

    You should have called Amazon immediately once you returned home and the package wasn't there. It's not your responsibility to drive across town to fix UPS/Fedex/USPS's mistake. Amazon would have shipped out the books already or by tomorrow and you'd have them by Monday. Live and learn I guess.

    First thing i did was called Amazon. The only thing i got from them was "we're contacting Fedex and they're investigating to see what happened". They did promised to refund or send me new copies if these were lost.

    Fedex contacted me a few hours after that and gave the me the address and promised that they'll send someone else out tormorrow. I didn't feel like waiting for them so i went to the address myself hoping i can get my stuff since i needed them soon.
