Works in Excel and Word, too. Big time saver.

Unfortuneately, it doesn't work reliably in Solid Works, which is where I really need it....

You know what I noticed today? How much I really love the theme to The Price is Right. It was on in the background on the radio, and it really is one of the corniest, silliest, most dated, but CATCHIEST tunes in the history of man!

Just the scroll wheel itself should zoom you in and out in Solid Works, though CTRL+ scroll does the same thing. As does shift + middle mouse click, hold, and move. Middle mouse click and hold spins. Don't even get me started on the ProE mouse stuff. |

[opens Solid Works]
Well what do you know, ctrl+scroll works for zooming...I swear to God it wasn't before.
Know any tricks for rotating the image?

As I said, middle mouse click and hold. Or, if you're using a mouse with a scroll wheel, click and hold that while you move the mouse.

Ted Danson is old!
I'm watching him on Conan O'Brien, and he's got the whitest hair. And glasses. And other old people characteristics!

In movies, when someone falls from a high place (like a building or a cliff), their scream always trails downwards in pitch, even when the character is falling towards the camera. Wouldn't the Doppler Effect dictate that the pitch of the scream would rise?

How funny it is when you're sitting in traffic waiting for a light to change and you see someone singing along to the same radio station you're listening to. Cracks me up.

In the Simpsons episode when Homer becomes a food critic for the town newspaper, he strangles the paper's television critic, claiming the guy made the networks cancel "Platypus Man" and "the Cosby Mysteries". I always assumed these shows were made up for that episode until today. According to imdb.com, they were in fact, real shows.
It just blows my mind that there was a real show on TV called Platypus Man. Starring Richard Jeni, no less!

That happened to me the other day. I just turned round and saw this bird mouthing the words to the same song. It was just funny  |

The following quote from The Two Towers sounds like the beginning of a bad joke:
"What business does a man, an elf, and a dwarf have on the Riddermark?"
I mean really, it's just missing, "Stop me if you've heard this one!" Or maybe I'm the only one who thinks this way....

A review I was reading on Star Wars (more like a historical review of the film's import in history), noted that the main character's name -- Luke Skywalker -- might've been a way for Lucas to get his name (Luke S.) into the film, subliminally. Ever heard of this?

StarOpal: There is at least one excellent Two Towers parody that mentions exactly that. Google "Two Towers Script Parody" and it comes up first or second. I quote:
Eomer: Stop me if you've heard this one: An Elf, a Dwarf, and a Man walk into the Riddermark..
Legolas: ...And the Elf shoots this git full of arrows who rides up on a horse! I DO know it! It's my favorite!
