random thoughts
here come a string of random comments/thoughts whose only connection is that i have something to do with them.. how i pity them..
Thought 1: I think I’ll start typing in proper case in blogs, since most other blogs I visit do this. It seems to be easier to read but not easier to type.
Thought 2: For those who want to watch Saw II, unless you like lots of blood and torture scenes and general sadistic things then it’s not for you. There are good plot twists and red herrings as you would expect from Saw, but apart from that it’s more gruesome than the original, especially since there are more people involved and they’re let loose, so to speak, in a whole house instead of just a room. Definitely not one for the squeamish.
Thought 3: Aren’t police subject to common sense on the road as well? Mum and I were driving back from North Sydney on Epping Road earlier today, and we were approaching this intersection without traffic lights, but with a right turn bay coming from the opposite direction on Epping Road. So we’re bearing down on the intersection at the legal speed and the police car, the next car in the turning bay to turn, decides to turn with an unsafe distance between our car and the intersection. I wonder what would happen if we didn’t brake and had hit the car.
Thought 4: I wonder if you could scam money back promotions. Say a company, let’s call them HP, offer a $100 cashback scheme for an item, let’s say a multifunction printer. If one was to buy 10 multifunctions for say $500 each, and then apply for the cashback, and then return the items to the store (being none the wiser to the customer’s cashback dealings), would this mean the customer is net $1000 richer?
Update to Thought 4: Ah nuts, it seems HP is pretty smart. They ask that you send in the physical barcode and serial number cut out from the cardboard box within which the multifunction is contained. Nuts.
More thoughts later when I can think of them.
