Er - how do you reconcile silly and within reason?

My wife had this, before she was made redundant from the Job Centre - even though she worked behind she scenes and was never visible to the public she still had to adhere to a ridiculously strict dress code. Of course, it got forgotten within a few months - somewhere there had been a new manager who felt like flexing their muscles.

Geeksaresexy - it's not the rules as such, it's the blind application of the rules. There are people out there who think that "Rules are rules" and that any infringement of any rule will lead to anarchy.
I suspect it stems from insecurity and/or having to deal with stroppy parents too often.

It might help if the article provided a bit more data about the stomach.

Which "average" is it referring to, for a start - mean, mode, geometric, arithmetic?

Secondly, what is the range of the data - if a average stomach has a capacity of 32 floz, is one of 33 seriously abnormal, or is that only reached at 104 floz, for example?

Jimmy Sparks, what on earth is he wearing here?

The Arctic seabed is contested as it may have oil. It's also much closer to home for many more people.

How much do I hate sideways-scrolling websites?

Enough not to finish scrolling to the side, certainly.

I got to use "testiculating" the other day, of someone who was waving his arms around while talking bollocks.

To get a prince, you usually have to kiss a lot of frogs.

At the risk of reopening old wounds, is it an anti-rape tampon?

"And this isn't my nose, it's a false one."

There was a programme about pain on Radio 4 some years ago which explored how we describe pain. At one point they interviewed people who had been stabbed and the consensus was that it didn't result in a stabbing pain but was often barely noticeable.

"A nuclear bomb"? Would that be a W54 warhead as fitted to the Davey Crockett missile, with a yield of ~10t, or a Tsar Bomba 50Mt weapon?

Assuming it's real, just move to some other part of the world where people believe in treating each other like humans instead of revenue units.

3D doesn't make me nauseous or headachey, just slightly disoriented. I can tell that things are intended to be in a different plane from the screen, but my eyes don't have to refocus and I think that's what disturbs me.
That and the directors just don't seem able to stop playing with it and keep trying to make me go WOW when I'd rather it was just a seamless part of the production.
