For those that dont use paper seat covers...

When wiping the seat before sitting down, you ever stop to think that
a percentage, however small it may be, of the "liquid" you're "wiping
away" is actually being SPREAD around the very seat you seek to clean?

Compatibility

I've just realized how compatibility is not just for computers. Some toilet seats are not compatible with seat protectors. They slide right off. >-(

Viral growth

Viral marketing is truly remarkable. If you project even with conservative estimates and adjusting for market saturation, growth can go through the roof. Amazing.

Stratagem

Efficiency

If you have an idea and someone else tells you it's not so great... Then you insist, and after a long time they finally say: You know what? The idea was pretty good, we should do it. However, since it took so long to decide to do it, we feel this idea needs more resources to get done faster -- So it'll get done without you. I'm choosing to interpret that as me being efficient -- the idea is so good I've caused it to get done without actually doing it.

Satisfaction and creativity

Is there a (direct) inverse relation between satisfaction and creativity/ innovation? When one is content, where can the drive to make things better come from? Or is mankind somehow hard-wired to look at something and think how to make it better? I'm ambivalent about this. I have see how too comfortable a position can lead to skewed perspectives (failing wall-street investment banker's bonuses come to mind, or incompetent CEOs with huge salaries and golden parachutes) but I can also see the artistic need to look at something beautiful and show it in (arguably) enhanced ways which are not driven by discontment but rather by inspiration. What do you think?

jerks

I can’t stand people who double park their $30k cars in a full parking lot.

and remember.. a courtesy flush is always welcome by your neighbors.

Welcome

As someone once said (I paraphrase): Don't be caught with your pants
down while bits of wisdom escape you forever. Use your time wisely,
flush away any boredom. Let the experiment begin.
