Building Blocks
U/Sockfullapoo: “When I went on a cruise, when we stopped in Mexico and drove through a small town, I noticed every single building had these metal poles sticking through the roof along where the walls on the first floor were.
I asked a local guy why this was and he said it was because if you kept them there they didn’t have to pay taxes for it seeing as it was still under construction.”
Amazing Memory
U/xbepox: “In high school I had a Spanish teacher that gave t/f tests with like 50 questions. You could retake the test and get 90% credit of your new score if it’s higher. I think he assumed that nobody could memorize 50 true false answers so the tests were always the same.
I converted the answers to binary and then to a base32 number system with 0-9A-V. All I had to do was memorize a 10 character string and then convert back into t/f answers. Never failed me.”
