Fake Door Close Buttons(?)

I was skimming through The Week earlier today when I read that the “door close” buttons on elevators are usually fake:

In most elevators, at least in any built or installed since the early 1990s, the door-close button doesn’t work. It is there mainly to make you think it works.

I must find out if this is true or not.

Fizzy Lifting Drinks, written by Pat Cassels, animated by Mike Parker.  I’m the voice of Grampa Joe.  Digg it.

I can never look at that movie the same way again.

Some quick details about my life and what’s been going on in it:

  1. I found someone I could buy Pokemon Diamond from. Unfortunately, I have to wait until June 15th to make the transaction, since he lives pretty far away.
  2. Homework has been crazy. It’s especially strange because it usually begins to wind down at this point, and the amount has remained pretty constant. Which brings me to my next point:
  3. On Friday, I will only have a week of school left! I’m planning on getting a job over the summer so I can purchase some items I’ve had my eye on for some time, but have not had the money to afford.
  4. I’ve still been playing Risk, but I’m not doing as well. I really need to look at what the other players are doing, but I still think taking Australia is a good move to start with.

New #1 on my list of incredibly creepy euphemisms for having sex that will ensure years of involuntary celibacy: “practice making a baby”.
