A sign I should rather be downing tools and going to bed:
I just spend at least 2 minutes cursing as to invoke demons, because my vb code wouldn't compile. I had just moved three VB.NET classes out of a forms project and into a new Windows Service project, and some errors were easy to fix, nicely higlighted in red, but some were truly cryptic, like about thirty that say:
Error 87 Too many characters in character literal
Then at the bottom of about eighty compile errors, I found a clue:
Error 5 A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods
What? Namespaces in VB.NET? What was going on? I added a new class to see if the template was perhaps broken, but then I noticed, I had pasted the VB class files into a C# project.

Pasted VB in C# projects and vice versa more times than I'd like to admit... The joys of working with both languages

I looked for an AddIn that would convert C# -> VB/VB -> C# on paste if required, but didn't find anything. 
Would be cool if someone could build something like that (using Roslyn, most likely).

There is an open source IDE called SharpDevelop that translates VB.net to and from C# (and to and from other .Net languages). It can be found at www.icsharpcode.net. I have used it a few times with good results. Basically you open your project or code module in this IDE; under Tools click Convert Code To and select your target language. I hope this helps!

If it's any consolation, after more than 4 decades of making coffee I forgot to put the lid on the pot. (NOTE: It's one of those drip-types where the pot-lid holds open the valve from the brew basket)

Hehe, sort of been there, but my feat was to leave the pot out on one that doesn't have a valve.

Well, I used to use a hairdryer to speed the barbeque up...

I've done that with a lower power fan. The heat coming off the chiminea melted the blower housing. Too bad I don't have a leaf blower.

As for everything, the right tool for the right job. An acquaintance of mine says that with an acetylene torch and the blower from his forge his charcoal grill goes from out to ready to cook from in 15 seconds. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Oh sh*t, I hope Hamish friend of my son does not see this, he has a leaf blower and is stupid enough to do this just for the entertainment value except he would to it on the veranda and probably burn the house down!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Why on Earth would ANYONE think that this kind of 'prank' (I use that term veeeeeeeery loosely here) is a good idea?

Eh, problem is is there's enough of them it doesn't matter. Get enough idiots behind you and you can even run for office

That's exactly what I thought when I read the article say that they "let chickens and crickets loose in the hallways".
What idiot would do that?
Everyone knows that you release penguins into hallways! Duh!

Quote: urinated on walls, let chickens and crickets loose in the hallways, sprayed shaving cream and ketchup throughout the building and left a dead animal in a hallway.
Pretty much an average day at some of the schools I taught in!

DD lost the election - it was apparently quite close.
The rumour that the balance was tipped by a bunch of gypsies getting together and voting for the first time ever are entirely unfounded.
