Now I wonder how many people have been forced to change or modify their names in order to get stupidly-coded computer systems to accept their name as valid. - Victor Ganata

I have a hyphenated last name, total of 13 letters. In the late 70's/early 80's in college, my last name on all class lists was one 9-letter word. Around the same time, someone complained to the newspaper because her city's new birth certificate computer only allowed a limited number of characters, so her son Christopher was now officially named Christophe. - Betsy #TeamMonique

Hey Sarah, you have leadership skills. - sglassme

Okay, but there were some girls in my class in 3rd grade who were just plain BOSSY! And their leadership skills, based on objective evidence and no visibly attentive subordinates, were seriously under-developed and possibly non-existent. But other than that I would only say "Right on!" #HaveiRedeemedMyself #AtAll? #Anything? #AhWell... - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

From the post, for those at work: "No search spiders allowed. No Internet Archive crawler. The Wicked Knickers tumblr is there, but you have to know about it, or you have to be linked to it. You won’t find it in Google, you won’t find it in any other search engine that honors robots.txt, and when Tumblr decides to stop hosting it, you won’t find the pages in the Wayback Machine — it will be gone for good, lost to humanity unless somebody with the technical chops and outlaw sensibilities of Archive Team finds a way to archive it anyway, robots.txt be damned. Wicked Knickers is just an example, one that has some meaning to me because it’s one of the first Tumblr blogs I ever noticed, and I’ve been linking to it since 2010. That’s almost 6,000 vintage erotica posts since January 2009, and none of those pages are in Google or the Wayback Machine. It was only when I twigged to that anomaly that I finally understood what Tumblr is doing to adult blogs." - Meg V. Meg

Finding Bryan's photo and information about the submarine were probably my best Internet "discoveries" ever. :) He was like a big brother to our Dad. Mom and Dad appreciated that I was able to find so many records, including photos of the submarine, the USS Barbel. - Lois Loves LB and Mr. B

Sophie, sensing the frustration in my voice, dropped whatever she was doing, ran downill after the horses and towards me, yelling: "DAD! DADDY!! I come and rescue you!!!" She tripped several times, but just got up and kept running. - Stephan Planken

“When we found Dennis he was quite frail and he clearly would not have survived another day on his own. “Fred, who has always been extremely loving, went straight up to him and began to lick the little bird clean. Mr Goldsmith, owner of Mountfitchet Castle, Stansted, Essex, where the duckling was found, said: “It is amazing to see the two of them together. “When we found Dennis he was quite frail and he clearly would not have survived another day on his own. “Fred, who has always been extremely loving, went straight up to him and began to lick the little bird clean. “Since then Dennis has not stopped following him around and Fred has pretty much adopted him. ~ Mountfitchet Castle houses hundreds of rescued animals within its grounds including goats, sheep, chickens and of course - ducks. - Halil from Bookmarklet

"New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

There'd have to be at least two, since blue eyes are a recessive trait, no? :D - Victor Ganata from iPhone

"The agency's Sydney office packaged together a 10-book box set of previously published paperbacks "specifically edited to last just as long as each of Qantas's key routes." It's a fun idea, and Droga is playing the nostalgia factor to the hilt. "In this world of Kindles and iPads, it seems that the last bastion of the humble paperback novel is actually at 40,000 feet," says David Nobay, creative chairman of Droga5 Sydney. "You only need to look at the bulging shelves at any airport bookstore. Maybe it's the fact that everything seems so far removed from the real world up there."" - Jessie from Bookmarklet

It is unfortunate that most parents have not been trained in how to deal with trauma, either in their own lives, or in how to teach their children how to deal with trauma. Trauma is a multi-level situation that is both emotional, social, immediate, [and] future projected, and must be dealt with in a way that assists the child to move through it. - Mitchell Tsai

...life in a society that is moving towards social sustainability will be changed; it will be changed in the courts in tort law, it will be changed in the deliberateness of how to raise children to think constructively about negative thoughts and how to bring peace to their thinking. Family dynamics and the work of parents will change tremendously. It will not change radically for... more... - Mitchell Tsai

"Hong Kong on Tuesday joyfully welcomed the return of a giant inflatable rubber duck, which drew tens of thousands of visitors before it was abruptly deflated for maintenance for almost a week. The southern Chinese city has taken the 16.5-metre-tall (54-feet) yellow inflatable duck, conceived by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, to its heart since it was towed into the harbour on May 2 to cheering crowds." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

I'd like to see some metropolitan area with a large bay (or harbor) deploy a duck in "tip-up" position. Then all you would see is the ass-end of a duck pointed toward the sky as it floats to-and-fro. #ButThatsJustMe - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

"Orchids of the genus Coryanthes have evolved along with orchid bees, and depend on each other for reproduction. Male bees are attracted to an pheromone laced wax produced under the orchid’s helmet. The wax is stored by the male and are used in courtship. However, the helmet is slippery and bees sometimes fall into the fluid filled bucket below. Once in the bucket, their wings are wet, which prevent them from flying. The walls of the bucket are smooth and lined with downward pointing hairs, preventing the insect from escaping through climbing. A small opening towards the front of the flower is the only way out. As the bee climbs through the narrow opening, they must press their bodies against sticky pollen packets. These are essentially glued to the bee’s body as it tries to escape. In order for fertilisation to happen, the pollen from one plant must be transferred to the stigma of another plant. After the bee flies off and visits another flower, it goes through a similar ordeal. This... more... - April Russo from Bookmarklet
