Government workers go home at 5 PM. And take off weekends. 17 year old kids do not. Just from my experience, no matter who they are.

Ok, I know it sounds TOTALLY NUTS, but many years ago I did have an out of body experience and ended up only for a few seconds in a future city (I know nuts, right?), and I had a conversation with one of the residents (he was TOTALLY STUNNED that I was able to connect with him, SHOCKED) - and EVERY TIME the conversation headed in a direction where I would pick up something that could change the past (my history), a few selected words turned into a "white noise" sound.
He seemed perplexed for a second, and then said, "well of course, if I say something that could change the past, the COMPUTER will detect that and substitute white noise." It was just a few seconds, and never happened again.
Sorry to say I never got the lotto numbers, and it's just one of those strange things from my past that to this day I recall clear as a bell.
go figure?
Venture Capitalism To the Rescue 88
theodp writes "Al Gore, Bill Joy, and a Norwegian cutie — a TH!NK open electric car — grace the cover of the latest NYT Magazine, which asks: Can the venture capitalists at Kleiner Perkins reduce our dependence on oil, help stop global warming, and make a lot of money at the same time? While Kleiner Perkins — which funded Genentech, Netscape, Google and others — has a number of other green-tech bets, a partner says its goal is 'to make a lot of money for our investors,' not to save the environment."
