What's this?
« on: June 23, 2008, 02:31 AM »


A glass in front of a speech table. What's it used for?

Is it very common in the US?  ;D

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS ...

Does he use his TOE or FINGER to pick his nose?

Cause that's one big @ss nose!
As an aspiring web developer/designer, it is a constant struggle to cope with my ADHD + Hypomania/Bipolar Disorder.

The slow growth of my web dev projects is eclipsed by my patience, understanding and desire to learn AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE as I slowly progress.

When I was younger I always thought those things were bullet-proof glass shields or something to protect the speakers.

Ah, the joys of youth.  :P

At one time I thought it was a tinted shield to protect the speaker's eyes from camera flash, so he wouldn't be blinded and would still be able to see his speech notes.  :D
