# I changed it back last week for one day,
It was quite confusing and not all that rewarding.

# Nice link,

# Colleagues are giving me a suspicious look
The strange giggling fits probably aren't helping the impression of sanity that I try to convey when I'm in work.

# Anyone who works nightshifts
on a Friday
(probably at an ISP)

Doesn't need to keep up a pretence of sanity. It'll be every man for himself by 2:30am, I can tell you.

# It's an ISP
and a phone company. And a TV company.

That narrows it down to two choices really. Not saying which one.

Never mind, I'm going home in 30 minutes.

Edit: Sod 30 minutes, I like the board's idea of time. 20 minutes it is, then.

# Yes.
That is most acceptable.

Fuggin ace too.

"The name Pacman is derived from the Japanese slang word "paku-paku", which means "to eat"."

no it isn't.

it's called pacman because execs realised that american "wags" could quite easily modify it's original name in japan of "puckman" quite easily to something rude.

so there.
