Officewatch 2010™ / Money Officewatch 2010: T-Minus 18-20 Hours Until the End
Posted by Grant Brissey on Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 2:07 PM
To wile away the time, please say interesting things in the comments section about this installment of Guess Whose Desk!
There sure are a lot of pennies in this cup. What are you saving for, sir/madam?

What would be more interesting here instead of guess who's desk would be a game of guess how many pennies.
And by more interesting, I mean equally uninteresting

That's one Matt Luby's secret copper coin stashes; he leaves them everywhere like little squirrel. When fiat currency finally fails, true believers in the Austrian School who stuff enough precious metal in their cheek pouches will rule the Earth. Then they'll show us; they'll show us all who was right all along!
Unless I miss my guess, you'll find a number of little balls of tinfoil if you look in the vicinity.

Dan is never included in the polls, except for this one, so I think it has to be him. But...a paper cup? I would have thought you guys were all "eco-sensitive"...so, it must be on the desk of some who's too busy to remember his go-cup, again, Dan.

HOORAY! It's my turn to tell WIS that he is full of shit!
Since 1982 the penny is over 97% zinc, with a copper plating. So pennies are not a good source of copper. Wrong again buddy.

Will in Seattle is just stupid, right? I can't tell if he is just messing with us, or he is just stupid.

Find a penny pick it up, for the rest of the day you'll have good luck!
This is probably a cup of LUCKY pennies, happens to me all the time. I love to find pennies that everyone else has just passed up. It's also the only time I allow spare change in my pocket for more than an hour or so.

What if one day WiS actually posted something that was factually correct and had evidence to back-it up? Would the earth stop spinning? Would rivers flow backward?

Thank you, gus!!!! (Thank goodness I'm not needy and constantly seeking validation, because that would be so annoying.... :)

This will be either the second or third time I mention my beloved former black co-worker who added immeasurably to the complexity of my life by informing me that a) I must never fail to pick up a dropped penny, and b) before picking it up, I must always overturn a penny found tails-up while maintaining ground contact, lest the good luck be sucked away by gravity.
Multiple trials of different SSRIs have failed to eradicate this behavior. At least I don't flip light switches or rattle doorknobs a thousand times.
Also, never put pennies on your dresser. Always keep whatever pennies you receive during the day in your pocket and force yourself to use the maximum number possible for each purchase. This will prevent nasal congestion, torn pockets, extended CoinMaster sessions, and prostatitis.

rob! @20, that's cool, I'd love to see you perform this ritual. A lot of people add "but only if it's heads up" to the end of that saying. I'm not that disciplined and have never cared which side was up. I'm just so happy to find a penny that I usually carry it around in my pocket for a few days before retiring it to the lucky penny jar.

Speaking of zinc, if you put a penny on the tip of your tongue you won't catch a cold.
.... or was it ... will look really foolish ...

I voted for Christopher, as he is the worst tipper of the Stranger gang. Good luck, boys of lobby!!!
