<russss> how the hell do you provide documentary evidence of that?
<martind> put up a sign "lesbians welcome"? then take pics?
<creature> We can photocopy people's gay cards, right?
<andrewgodwin> right, every disabled, gay or female member needs to provide a short essay...
<solexious> badly worded? "lesbian and gay men"
<russss> heh
<solexious> i'm a lesbian man!
<martind> ah yeah it needs to be "lesbian men welcome"

<KaiserPro> "whats an A record" "Its like a CD, but bigger"

<Czechton> i've had to travel thorugh some worryingly technical datasheets and websites to figure out materials that won't die on exposure to ethanol

<@TimRTerrible> So. Someone at work has made a terrible, terrible error.
<@TimRTerrible> We have new "smart" door stops on all the fire doors. They self test 12 hours after you insert batteries, so we started them up at 10am. Perfect. All the doors in school shut at 10pm each night.
<@TimRTerrible> However, they have another feature; they listen for _really_ loud piercing sounds, and then trigger. This is so they're not wired into anything and just shut when the alarms go off.
<@TimRTerrible> The mistake is that someone told the students this
<@TimRTerrible> So, since 8am this morning there has been a quickly escalating game of "who can scream loud enough to cause the fire doors to shut" outside my office
<@srimech> TimRTerrible: And has anyone succeeded yet?
<@TimRTerrible> Yes. This has not stopped the competition.
<@TimRTerrible> It has only intensified the game.
