The last number at a barcode is the verifying number, result of some kind of logarithm.

so. when I first started work, the cost clerk job didnt come with a computer (computers needed a whole room to themselves)

so when you add stuff up it needs to balance down the page, and across the page.

If it doesn't balance, and the difference is a multiple of nine, you have crossed some digits over (like 32 instead of 23)

If the difference is 9, the digits you have crossed are one apart, like 12, 45.

If the difference is a multiple of nine then the digits are that number apart, so difference of 18 would be 13, 24, etc.

now we have computers we dont have to worry, so its interesting, but useless

OMG Gillio! My mother tried to explain this to me several times, but she couldn't remember exactly how it was. She's gonna be happy to hear the accurate version of it again :) (although you'll have to excuse me, I didn't understand half of what you wrote ^_^ )

That lobster really is too sweet :( Meat should not taste like that.

[Nox Irradiata]

Lobsters mate for life.

[DreamSongs]

But they do not belong in macaroni and cheese. I don't care what the Food Network or the New England region says.

[Nox Irradiata]

The world's longest lobster roll was 61 feet, 9.5 inches. It contained 48 pounds of meat.

All of the individual offices at work have pin-up boards.

Arkansas and Kansas are pronounced differently because of the French and their silent "s".

Both states are named for related native tribes.

Kansas named after the Kansas River and Kansa tribe.

If you ever find yourself wanting to own a pet bear or venomous snake in the US, move to Indiana. The most lenient laws in exotic pet owning.

Wait that one's useful.

This one isn't:

Lisa Kudrow's character Ursula from King of Queens Mad About You is the Twin sister of her character Phoebe from FRIENDS. In a FRIENDS episode, Helen Hunt's character visits Central Perk and finds Phoebe waitressing there, which leads her to assume it's Ursula.

Hawaii doesn't have any indigenous snakes. Or rabies. Or snakes with rabies.

[DreamSongs]

Only mammals get/carry rabies.

[Nox Irradiata]

Baby sharks are called pups.

Repetition is useless
