Dilbert's house isnt complete without an evil mastermind.
where is ratbert's toidy?
It has an excercise room. Sorry.
Kid's bedroom? Wife's bathroom? this can't be dilbert we are talking about.
What do you get when thousands of Dilbert readers put their minds together and design a house?
:)
slashdot effect?
... soon to become Dogbert's Ultimate House...
And does Bob and his brood still live under the couch?
Sometimes I wish I was a plumber, then I'd know how to deal with other people's shit.
Well, when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us.
I'd need a room with padded walls to come home to after a grueling day of putting up with the pointy-haired boss.

It has to have an excercise room, otherwise you couldn't not use it.
Or
you could not not use it
Should mean
you could use it
But doesn't, but what about
otherwise you could'nt, not use it
Or
otherwise you could not, not use it
Perhaps
otherwise you could'nt not, use it
Giving up
otherwise you could, not, not, use it.
I actually like it. At least parts of it. The site was running a bit slow, but we haven't quite /.'d it yet. I'm gonna fire up some wget's and see what happenes... (just doing my part)
The pics looked pretty good, and I will probably take note of some of the "requirements" that the house had to have.
I think that was a mac on his workroom table:)

But can it pass a Feng Shui test

...and after they'd been dating for several weeks, Scott Adams drew one strip where Dilbert shows up to work with his necktie completely flat.

Only 8'x10' for wires? That's nothing. My entire house is a wiring room. Why, just last night on the way to the bathroom I pulled down two televisions and a G4 Mac when a gap in my coaxial carpeting allowed my foot to take hold underneath and yank seven cables and wake a 13 foot python that had felt at home enough to make its nest there. Some might call this "tripping" or "dangerous." I call it "geek chic."
I can see playing paintball around this house would be a blast! BUT! That turret would be a deathtrap for any joker that got into the top of it. hmm....
Veteran: "Ok, I want you to go to the top of that turret and defend it."
Newbie: "erm, ok!"
Veteran: *thinks* "at least he'll be out of my hair for the time being..."
*Splat*Splat*Splat*Splat*Splat!* HIIIIITTT!

You do realize that the whole thing is CG... YES?
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Years later, there was a guy on TV showing how you can train any cat to use the toilet by just putting a piece of plexiglass under the seat, and putting cat litter in it, and putting the cat on it. Do this a couple of times a day, removing some of the litter each day - the cat will instinctively avoid standing on the glass itself. Do this until there's just the glass, at which point, the cat is ready to use the bowl.
Mind you, you still have to flush for them, but it's cheaper and less smelly than cat litter.
you're not going to change the orientation or insulation of the whole house once it's built.
;-)
Not with that attitude you won't!
You can't take the sky from me...
People's cat litter boxes smell? Use the correct litter box sand, please.
What kind of sand would that be? Quicksand?
Do NOT remove the box. Taking a shower and watching a cat torn between staying in a box it just crapped in and leaving through a torrent of water has it's positive moments!

When I had a cat (May he rest in peace), the litter box was in the bathroom, because it was near the toilet for disposing lumps 'o crap. It was a really bonding experience to go to the bathromm, the cat following behind you and taking a huge dump together. Needless to say, my logs always beat his, thus he was a moody cat...
That has occurred to them, but they need somebody to work the can opener.
