Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?
If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too?
Are people more violently opposed to fur rather than leather because it's much easier to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs?
If you spin an Oriental person around several times, does he become disoriented?

WWN was launched and created by Colm Williamson in September 2009 with the noble aims of extracting the urine from everyday news and media events...(The British vernacular for this is "Taking the piss", which is a characteristically British use of humor as a levelling tool and to poke fun at something.)
Reminds me a little of the somewhat anti-capitalist anti-bullshit anti establishment Scottish group Chumbawumba who produced some brilliant and often beautiful songs and music which not only took the piss but also were making cutting (sometimes cringingly so) socio-political commentary. If you are unfamiliar with British humour, then you might not get some of their music. When you do get it, you will find that some of it is not very pleasant at all to the people/objects they (Chumbawumba) deride/despise. (Still probably well worth a listen though.)

In the US, they were a one-hit-wonder, with this song, introducing Americans to the phrase "pissing the night away", which we mistakenly thought meant something else.Curious. What did people think it meant when they first heard it?

Unless, of course, they take it in the literal sense in which you'd need a very big water tank

Generally, Americans think that pissed = angry
My mate lived over there for a while in Berkeley, he got a bit drunk one night and when one of his American friends asked him how he was going he said, "I'm pissed."
His mate went all quiet and went over to my friends wife and asked what he was angry about

Hunh. That wasn't what we thought when we heard it (we being my "mates" and I).
To us, "pissing," coupled with some reference of time, followed by "away" meant wasting time. Thus, "pissing the night away" meant we'd spent the time regretfully doing nothing of value.

pissed = angry

Where was that awesome rant about Daylight savings time and programming, where the final answer was "just use the open source subroutine and don't mess with it"?

I ran into this in a big way today getting ready for a live podcast!
I'm not sure what that has to do with this thread.

It was on time zones, and I can't find the post on here, but here's the video:

It's a funny video!
Speaking of Daylight Savings time ending and causing weird issues, my husband worked tonight, over the 2AM mark when the clocks changed back. If the clocks had not changed, he would have clocked out at 2:30AM, but since the clocks had changed, his time slip says he clocked out at 1:30AM, but doesn't say which 1:30AM it was (1st or 2nd). So now his manager has to submit a list of everyone that worked tonight and clocked out after the change, so they all get an extra hour's worth of pay manually added to their paychecks.
