This Is My Co-Workers Desktop. Amazing
Ben Winkelman 5 years ago
How do you do that? The way that the desktop works, it puts the icons in straight lines across the screen, in a 2D fashion. But the way that the desktop is set up here, you can see that the icons on the shelves and the cork board all of the items are on slightly different heights.

Coworkers Adding Heads To Animals On Desktop Background
Kristin Connon 7 years ago
The meerkat one is perfect. Anyone that's ever worked an office space full of cubicles knows what "meerkating" or "prairie dogging" is, even if you never called it that. It's when you say something and a bunch of people stand up to peer over the tops of their walls, making them look like meerkats or prairie dogs. :P

People have the most peculiar fascination with this bodily function. All animals/mammals to the best of my knowledge DO This. It's healthy. What is the fascination?? . Love all of us as a general rule but come on.... give every living being a break. We live. We s**t. That's it. It's a fact. No worries. :)

it is true that stormtroopers are the next gen of clonetroopers, but I don't think stormtroopers are (entirely) clones. As we can see in Rebels that they have an academy for it.
