If you ever read the dailyWTF, you’ll know they occasionally have a gallery of funny dialogs, messages, etc. Today I had a WTF moment when attempting to login to Google Apps for Your Domain:

I did wonder if this was some sort of advanced captcha approach :-)

Cutting Emissions

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

I’m very much in favour of cutting emissions but I found the headline of this article

http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/light-bulbs-ban-to-slash-emissions/2007/02/19/1171733685061.html

to be somewhat inconsistent with its own facts

The Federal Government estimates replacing the old bulbs with compact fluorescents in homes could cut greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 800,000 tonnes a year in 2008-12. Australia’s emissions in 2004 totalled 564.7 million tonnes.

That 0.14% could hardly constitute a slashing.
