Can You Solve the Bridge Riddle?

Why You Should Tell Coworkers Your Salary

HenningKO says...

Yeah, never understood this taboo. Most people got the idea from somewhere that it's bad manners. 'Course, I think we should all be talking politics and religion at the workplace as well...

NASA Engineer tells you how to win an egg drop

HenningKO says...

Hmm. 4/5 of those solutions were pretty disappointing. Balloons, bag of styrofoam, parachute, and... drone airlift

If this help string theory, then this is one more reason to believe string theory is bullshit.
