It could be useful, like you could print it out and use it as toilet paper. That would be handy. May I suggest a black and white printout though, to avoid smearing the extra ink on your backside.

I occasionally bookmark bad articles if I don't have time to properly explain just how and why it's bad at the moment. Or to be able to drag it out into the light once in a while for more shaming.
I think I mentioned to Chris once that a bookmark should not give the author reputation points.

His mother and his two sisters, who show it to their friends, saying what a genius he is.
Actually, that's a bit cruel. He may have had a really hard time with that, even if it is simple code (we've all been there, so don't be too quick to condemn), and posting it was his equivalent to a primal scream.

Never vote a 1 there could always be one that's worse.
It's like a fine whine just when you thought you had heard the best...boom there's a better one.
Now I grant you my ex was one of the finest whiners I ever met but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure there's someone somewhere that's better at it?

These have to be the sickliest looking cattle I've ever seen. Perhaps this individual needs to change which type of livestock he works with, goats might work better for him than cattle.
http://www.reuters.com/news/picture/2014/11/07/editors-choice?articleId=USRTR4D3AX#989484459[^]
[Edit]
For those who can't see the image,[^] (courtesy of BillWoodruff), or more importantly, the caption, this is what is says under the picture, "A trader follows his herd of cattle towards a livestock market through a busy road in Kolkata, India, November 6, 2014."
The image clearly shows goats and/or sheep. Either way, there is nothing the image closely resembling cattle.
Comments from work:- "Why can't you just do it like everybody else?"
- "Well, we haven't had any complaints yet."
- "I just want to get it into production."
- "It only matters if it’s important to someone who matters."

They're not cattle - they're goats. Cattle are Cows.

In India they see this differently, as I have heard.

I thik you are right.
Dictionary.com says cattle are: bovine animals, especially domesticated members of the genus Bos.
and
bovine of or pertaining to the subfamily Bovinae, which includes cattle, buffalo, and kudus.
Plus, a circular reference definition.

Yes, but look at the description for the photo.

Those are goats and sheep mixed in the herd. I did not see any cattle in the pic.

I agree. But read the description of the photo. I believe that is the reason for OP posting.

There seems to be something wrong with that web-site, but if you are referring to this picture: [^]: well, them are goats.

I think you will find the Reuters editor is the idiot, the herder did not write the caption, he is just looking after his goats.
