Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #161 – 2014-06-03, 00:57:19 I was Googling the authors of a science paper a while ago, and noticed that many of these papers had a list of authors, often including "et al."So I Googled "et al." and got 1,010,000,000 hits.I thought you should know.
Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #162 – 2014-06-03, 23:14:17 Et al. surely is a prolific author. Almost as famous as Lorem Ipsum.

Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #166 – 2014-06-13, 12:00:53 The Washington Post takes the award for stupidest thing I read this week.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/06/12/the-u-s-spent-3-million-on-boats-for-landlocked-afghanistanQuoteThe United States spent more than $3 million on eight patrol boats for the Afghan police, according to an internal audit released Thursday.That sentence is surprising for a few reasons:1. Afghanistan is landlocked.Because as we all know, landlocked countries have no canals, rivers or lakes.QuotePerhaps even more bizarrely, the United States had provided boats to Uzbekistan to patrol the same river years earlier.And why would this be bizarre? Uzbekistan patrolling the Afghani part of the river would be an international incident, now wouldn't it?The rest of the article seems to be a little more sensible.
