Workweek Causes Climate Changes
Shipud writes "An
article
in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
reports that daily temperature ranges are smaller on weekdays than on weekends. This phenomenon is strongest in the US, but also appears in China and Japan. The researchers attribute this to human activity, although the exact mechanism is unclear. The prime suspect is
aerosol / cloud interactions. Here is the more legible version from
Scientific American"
why it's nice and sunny all week and then rains every weekend?
... the make up of most teams. After all, with the amount of hot air and BS coming from your PHB and the more difficult members of your team, do you wonder why there is an impact on the climate after a 2 hour team meeting?
A mandatory 7 day work week! This will result in stability.
I know when I'm driving to work on weekdays I go through about 2 cans of aerosol spray. You know, just to pass the time. Maybe it's my fault, sorry guys.
Nah, this can't be right... The matrix would suffer from low power and the human's would start to see glitches. OMG! That's why I had to work weekends for the last year! Here I thought it was because we were hopelessly behind in our project! Maybe it is true!
No, the prime suspect is my co-worker Bob. Man, does that guy ever have B.O. Jeez.

Did anyone test to see if the consumption of bean filled meals changed the environment? They blame global warming on bovine flatulence but it could it be the mass consumption of burritos?
I always wondered why it was so hot in Mexico... now I know! Wow, on Slashdot, you learn something new every day.
I already figured out why it's colder in Canada though... you see, people up here in Canada are more likely to wear insulated clothing, and that keeps body heat from escaping into the environment. This effect is most notable in the winter, when almost everyone wears several layers of insulated clothing when going out of their house, and this translates to even colder temperatures than usual. Of course, the interiors of houses still stay warm all year long, because people never wear bulky clothing indoors; that would be rather inconvenient, after all.

I heard that President Bush is planning a preemptive strike on New Zealand because of their weapons of mass flatulence (WMF). A division of scotsmen will be air dropped in to plug the holes.
Earth may not be center of the universe as in beer, but it is the center of the universe as in freedom.
