Every day when I go to work I see a billboard advertising a 3 day work
week. The website is AmericansWhoDon'tWantToWork.org or something
equally as stupid. But I think they're the ones that sit around and
create websites like the following so that only 3 days worth of work
gets done in 5.

Hey thanks, Julie - I just wasted half an hour on that! :) My global
rank is 10,881. :) (Meaning, 10,880 people throughout the world did
better than I did.) I don't think I'll ever be a champ at this, because
(1) my mouse isn't very good, and (2) you have to play this game with
your right hand and I'm left-handed, and (3) I'm just a klutz.

I'm not quite ready to say "Move over, Bubbels", but I did get into it.

lol, Joyce. I know what you meanMy handicap is a touchpad for a mouse.
I'm going to try this at work where I have a real mouse to work with.
I do want to know if you managed to fly it out the window? I can get
to the wall but it loses altitude just before the window and crashes
into the wall. I don't remember my global ranking, it wasn't very
good. I know that much. But it is fun.

I did, and it went through a yard, over a cityscape, and into an urban
park, where it finally landed at "61m" - my highest score so far. What
does the "m" stand for?

m stands for meters.

Bridget - who thinks Julie is evil for posting these sorts of things
when I have homework to be doing!

Oh, that's not very impressive! I only went 61 meters? That's only .038
miles! From the imagery on the screen, it looked like my airplane went
on for miles, through the city and the park, etc.

I got the plane to glide gracefully through the window and sail 50
metres on my third shot! That must have been a real fluke though... it
took another six tries to get it out there again! My best distance was
71.519, putting me at ten thousand and something. That's enough time
wasted for one night!

Hey, that's me! :P:P:P:P What's wrong about not wanting to work? Seems
perfectly natural to me. :P
