Refactormycode is yet another Web2.0 site, this time for people to post code snippets and ask for help with making them better. I’ve been trawling through the rather infrequent posts of late and found something to help with!

Dear workmates,

When I provide you with numerous solutions, do not say “that’s not what I want to do” because there’s only so many ways I can stop your Blackberry’s email inbox filling up.

Ta,

“Koichiro Tsujikawa’s dreamy music video to Cornelius’s “Fit Song” spends its entire time in the confines of a house, where CGI brings everyday items to a strange sort of life.”

I found this on an animation site called Frames Per Second - check out the vid, then the site – very cool

I pulled this from rec.humor.funny.

After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men–he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally  unfortunately, Mrs.  Fenton was like most women–she loved to browse.
One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from her local Wal-Mart.

Dear Mrs. Fenton:
Over the past six months, your husband has been  causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr.  Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly  put them in people’s carts when they weren’t looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5 minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women’s restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, “Code 3 in Housewares – get on it right away.”
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M’s on layaway.
6. September 14: Moved a “CAUTION – WET FLOOR” sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he’d invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, “Why can’t you people just leave me alone?”
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the “Mission Impossible” theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced  his “Madonna look” by using different sizes of funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled “PICK ME! PICK ME!”
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed “OH NO! IT’S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!”
And last, but not least,
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the  door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, “Hey! There’s no toilet paper in here!”
Regards,
Wal-Mart

Dear conference presenters,

When we ask for a short (six-line maximum) biography/intro for our published forum program, please send us LESS than six lines on an average page. Sending us a page and a half does not make us put it all in – and we’ll send it right back.

Thanks,
James.
