I posted aliens ( as in ten million aliens ) as a SWAG then I saw your post and immediately deleted it - never heard of crores so well done.

I clearly hang around QA too much - lazy Indian students use "crores" a lot ...

I already knew the term, from working with a dev team in Bangalore some years ago. But I cam across it again yesterday ...

Why lazy? I prefer millions and billions myself, but why is using crores lazy?
Cheers,
Vikram.

It's not the crores that are lazy - it's the students!

This one[^] met with stony silence, but maybe it helped today.

I remember yours and guessed the answer to this one as soon as I saw it, but I was still hours late.
Ten million is one crore though, so I disagree with the usage of the plural here.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Richard,
Why Crores rather than Crore? Ten million is a crore, singular.
Cheers,
Vikram.

Hi Vikram, Yes I know, but I had to fit it to the clue, so I used a little poetic licence. I hope I did not offend too many of our Indian friends.
|
|
|
|
|
Haha, there is no way this would give offence.
Cheers,
Vikram.

You would be amazed at the things some people are offended by.

You move your beer out of the way but the cursor is still obscuring that word you're trying to read.

That's one advantage of a touchscreen - no mouse cursor.
Now all we need is the touch glass that refills itself ...

How about a mouse which is also a cooling coaster?

If a house takes fire, we must seek, above all things, to protect the
right side of the house standing on the left, and, on the other hand,
the left side of the house on the right; for if we, for example, should
protect the left side of the house on the left, then the right side of
the house lies to the right of the left, and consequently as the fire
lies to the right of this side, and of the right side (for we have
assumed that the house is situated to the left of the fire), therefore
the right side is situated nearer to the fire than the left, and the
right side of the house might catch fire if it was not protected before
it came to the left, which is protected. Consequently, something might
be burnt that is not protected, and that sooner than something else
would be burnt, even if it was not protected; consequently we must let
alone the latter and protect the former. In order to impress the thing
on one’s mind, we have only to note if the house is situated to the
right of the fire, then it is the left side, and if the house is to the
left it is the right side.
(Lichtenberg’s extract from a code of regulations in case of fire.)
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

I once worked in a building where the fire instructions read "In case of fire, do not leave the lift".
I suspect the secretary disliked someone.

Would a TV program about beavers be the best dam program you'd watched?
