Also skipping meals makes your body go into starvation mode and lowers your metabolism. You may actually gain weight by doing that even if total calories are same.

    A recent job literally had a cabinet filled with keyence microscope lenses. Each one probably between 500-3000 dollars. Someone bought them, then left and they were given to someone else, I "inherited" them, then I left and I assume someone else was given them. There was probably atleast 50 of them of various focus lengths, magnification, mounting etc. None of them compatible with any microscope I saw while while working there... Corporate waste is on a whole different level in my experience.

    When I was in high school I was in a electronics program. They won a grant for a ham radio station with repeater and everything. It was valued at about 150k around 2000. It sat in a backroom never set up. The school would not spend the $150 in bolts to mount the antenna to the roof.

    Not exactly what you ask for but I still find it funny... When I was a child we still had 3.5 floppy disks. A friend convinced me that you get computer viruses like you get human viruses. If you rub dirt from outside on the tape inside the disk there is a chance you could put a virus on the disk.

    Did it cause a computer virus? No! Did it destroy the disk drive? Yes! Were my parents mad? Absolutely!
