Why the seal do people not know how to use an elevator?

Am I really so basic? Elevator jokes? Really? Well yes... I am going there because people just don't learn. An elevator call button... NOT ROCKET SCIENCE Up and down people... that would be people who push the up and the down to summon the lift faster are just terribly awful people. If you do this, I am sorry to be the one to tell you this but, you are both unintelligent and selfish. Think very carefully about this and use logic. The elevator is machine that is programmed to respond to inputs of either up or down. In a system with more than one car it coordinates cars based on the pushes on different floors and sends the elevators based on the programming. It cannot deduce that since you pushed the up and the down there must be a ton of people waiting and it should send the car you want faster. Let's look at it a different way.  You are on floor 10 and you want to go down. Being an idiot you press the "up" and "down" because it is 'fas...

Picture on KFC truck answers age-old question

Why did the chicken cross the road?  This is a question which has plagued scholars, philosophers, and comedians for aeons. Lucky for us the question has been solved by the good people at KFC Malaysia.  As we can see on the side of their truck chickens form a uniform line and find a safe pedestrian crossing before making their way across the street in an organised manner. Their destination - KFC - where they become delicious morsels of deep-fried, battered goodness. This is one of the only recorded instances of a pedestrian walk being used where the pedestrian didn't have to dive out of the way of a motorcyclist. Well there you have it folks... I have solved one of life's little mysteries for you.

Food at The Traders

During my recent trip to The Traders I sampled just about everything they had to offer except in-room dining. The grill and steak house was offering specials relating to mushrooms: specifically wild ones. Coming to dvd mushrooms gone wild... unrated! The land menu meaning anything on land... well almost anything A lovely olive roll French onion soup.  The soup was very tasty but the cheese was a bit mild and tasteless. The portion size was huge and I felt full and a bit bored by the time I reached the bottom. Cream of mushroom soup.  The mushroom soup was a very normal puree mushroom soup. It was not bad just nothing special - a very fresh soup. Steak and mushrooms.  A sirloin steak with sauted wild mushrooms and spinach. The side was potatoes au gratin (scalloped or cheese potatoes for those not initiated). The steak went very well with the mushrooms and was cooked to a perfect medium. Ribeye steak.  By far the star of the even...

Where to stay in Kuala Lumpur - The Traders Hotel. A review

When looking to stay in Kuala Lumpur (KL) the options are nearly limitless - from high-end luxury to quaint boutiques to backpackers' budget. I recently stayed in the luxurious Traders Hotel which overlooks KLCC park and is opposite the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. A note before I get started - this hotel is not cheap! The room I selected runs you back about RM550 but is definitely worth the cost should you want the indulgence. Parking and reception. The reception is split between three floors the ground floor the first floor and the fifth floor. The parking believe it or not is actually in the convention centre lot which I am told has a separate security guard and is free for overnight guests. The concierge is located on ground, group check ins on first, and general check ins on fifth. The reception staff were efficient, had impeccable English and customer service skills. The man who handled me answered all of my questions accurately and informatively and generally gave me m...
