Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 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 I still learned this in my accounting course this summer, so not useless :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddard Stark is online Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Sure, but that's not what the title of the thread asks of us. The relevant part- 'the most useless trivial thing'.I really don't care if people post multiple things, of course, but you're struggling to follow the instructions there, chief. The first line assumes a very literal approach. The second line contradicts your first line. Maybe cut a little slack. I found them interesting. The last one made me laugh as it was obviously just something she'd remembered by citing another old date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this thread is cruising off the rails, and begs for an iron-souled type like Soylent B to steer us back on track. This isn't some trivial thread.

Unlady B Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Camels were originally from America. They migrated to the other continents through the Bering land bridge millions of years ago. Modern llamas and guanacos are from the same family, too. Black panthers are in fact regular panthers with a melanistic colour variant. The biggest cat in the Americas is the yaguareté (aka jaguar). The biggest rodent in the world is the capybara. In the Amazon river there is a fish that is attracted to urine, and is small enough to slide in the urethra and stick in there. It's name is candirú.

Zar Lannister Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Red Velvet Cake originally got its coloring from a reaction between buttermilk and cocoa. Now it's just food coloring.Really? I always thought the *Red* coloring was from beet juice used in old recipes. Cool thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool thing!I read about the beet thing too. :) I think during WWI it was used to help add moisture to cakes because of the rationing of some other ingredients.

Tellus Explorer Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I saw some lobster talk and remember hearing lobsters can live forever.What do you mean by forever? As in an eternal lifespan? Or limitless in reproduction? (As in staying fertile until death?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
