I admit that I am a bit of a people watcher. Human behavior really intrigues me. As I have discussed previously a special branch of people watching occurs in the the men’s washroom. It really is an interesting place. I am currently drinking 3-4 litres of water a day so I spend my fair share in […]

Mining PCBs
I found this article about developing countries melting down computer components for gold and copper pretty interesting. I think it is supposed to be making a point about the toxins released into the water table during this process but my me-me-me attitude has allowed me to look past the social-political issues surrounding this topic.
Here is […]
Button Pushers
Sometimes the stupidest little things that people do, really gets my blood boiling. It is nice that I have this place to vent. Hopefully you can understand me and not label me as a wacko.
Today’s action that really bugs me are people who can not resist pressing the elevator button even though they […]
Bathroom Behavior II
My original Bathroom Behavior post was one of the most commented on posts on the blog (which at 7 is pretty sad … readers you need to do better, don’t you find this stuff thought provoking?). As time goes on my fascination with the way people act in the bathroom grows. I am sure you […]
Toronto’s Garbage
Nope not a post about the Maple Leafs (Ha! They are actually doing pretty good this year … certainly better then expected … as predicted here by me!). Nope, today’s post may turn into a recurring feature here on Pirates And Ninja …Mike Solves Your Problems!
Over the last year I have heard all […]
Inappropriate Comments
Almost everyday I see the President of the company I work for grab the newspaper from reception and head to the washroom. Is it inappropriate to say something like …
“Have a good dump!”
Even though I mean it I realize that this is not the right thing to say, no matter how much I want to. […]
Bathroom Behavior
I find some peoples actions in the washroom (specifically while using the urinal) very odd. Is there a standard set of rules somewhere I can reference? I need to find out if they are weird or if it is me.
Nice Mustache Ma’am
Get ready for some ground breaking action. Generally, I try not to take a stand on much. I don’t really tackle the topics of politics or religion on this blog (or much in any sort of social setting). Today, we will officially take a stance on something.
Originally I came across this story here on Deadspin […]
Start Working On The Ark
Is it just me or are we (the planet) spinning off into the Sun? Why does no one else seem to care? I am by no means an environmentalist. We have a gas guzzling SUV, I pick my teeth with the finest wood from the Amazon rain forest and I have been known to club […]
What Is Wrong With Me?
I find the humour in most things. Low brow jokes or really high level thinkers, it doesn’t matter, I will probably like it. But as much as this doesn’t seem to be a problem, it is. I simply don’t know where to draw the line. I am missing the part of the brain that tells you […]
