Random thoughts Stray memories

Tuesday, July 20, 2004

I seem to learn the strangest things during lunch. Today's discoveries:

The coins produced here during 1939 and 1941 had very high silver content; hence they tend to be shinier. I know someone who actually checked every coin that passed through his hands to find those produced in these 2 years. And he managed to find a 10 cent coin too.

When English is a second language, it tends to become sounds. For the first time, I've just heard Tamil being described as alarm clock sounds.

Last but not least, it is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. So it may be a better idea to do something first than to err too much on the side of caution.
