dcinput daily for Thu 14th Dec, 2006
I am comming up to the end of a long and pretty complex project at work and so posts will probably be less involved over the next few days. Mucho coding to be done…
BBC News: “The world’s tallest man has saved two dolphins by using his long arms to reach into their stomachs and pull out dangerous plastic shards”.
The dolphins had swallowed some bits of plastic and were very ill because of this but they couldn’t remove the plastic with conventional tools. So they tracked down the world’s tallest man, since he has the worlds longuest arms, in the hope that he would be able to reach down into the dolphins stomachs and remove plastic. And wouldn’t you know it the plan worked. Now that’s thinking outside the box.
Can you imagine the looks the person who suggested the idea got back from his colleagues when he suggested it?
