You know things are getting bad when a Ninja can’t even find work. C’mon…they’re ninjas! They should never have to resort to such desperate acts like this.

I had been giving the Ninja career some serious thought over the past few months. If it is this hard for them to find work now, I think I will have to rethink my previous thoughts. Yup.

• The dollar symbol ($) is a U combined with an S (U.S.)

• The vignette on the reverse of the five-dollar note depicts a likeness of the front of the Lincoln Memorial as it appeared in 1922 when it was first dedicated. At that time, there were only 48 states that made up the United States of America. The names of 26 states were engraved on the front of the Memorial. This is why only the names of 26 states appear in the vignette on the reverse of the five-dollar note. In the upper frieze of the façade in the vignette the states are from left to right: Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, and North Dakota. In the lower frieze from left to right the names of the states are: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Carolina, Hampshire, Virginia and New York.

It’s my desktop!

I was tagged by Mike with a meme where I have to take a screencap of my desktop and display it for the world to see. Mike says that he is glad it’s his pc desktop he is showing off, and not his actual desktop. I couldn’t agree more. My “wood” desktop is full of crap and clutter, nothing like my pc desktop.

I used to have windowblinds installed which really made some awesome effects, but I took it off a while back. I may have to put it back on there for the next time this meme comes around.
