Demotivational Posters

Remember in the 90's when those annoying motivational posters, calenders and desk plaques were in every office? You know the ones with the brightly coloured photo and a cheesy/ inspirational quotes underneath? My boss (who was totally
crazy) had them plastered all around her cubicle...i hated
them...and her...but that is another story.


Fortunately, I have found a new set of demotivational posters to inspire me thoughout the day...this one is hanging on the wall right above my computer monitor at work...i can look at it all day...it states:

"When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor."

So true.

I also have this one in my lab, it states:
" None of us is a dumb as all of us." Inspirational, no?

"Pluto Status Suffers Another Blow"

I visit the BBC website daily...more specifically, the Science and Nature page. I found this article: "Pluto has suffered yet another blow to its status."

Horrifying! If you have read my blog before, you know that I am angered that "scientists" have downgraded Pluto's status from planet to largest dwarf planet. Now, these same "scientists' have decieded that Pluto is now longer the largest dwarf planet...oh the humitiation! Now this status has been revoked as well...Pluto is now just another rock...floating around, with no purpose...aimless, like me in high school...only I had mall hair...
