As another day dawned, +The scrap dealer Scrap once again put on her protective gear and exited +the cave on her roaring tricycle, ready for all challenges. + +Scrap soon crossed paths with a chaotic rider, but managed to get away +by driving safely. Good thing she brought the protective gear. + +--- + +A person enters a bus and asks the driver how much a ticket costs. "2 +units of the currency," the driver responds. The person is confused: 2 +of what currency? After two seconds, the driver hands a ticket, closes +the doors, and starts driving. Cleverly, and with a satisfying sense of +comprehension, the person realises that the currency was time, and the +units were seconds. The bus then promptly stops, the driver looking +perplexed. "Was I wrong?" the person wonders, as the driver picks up an +LED lamp and touches the person twice. Nothing happens, the driver +apologises for "forgetting the new rules", and the person is thrown off +the bus -- after all, the person did not have two units of *the state of +being current*. (The funny point is that rules can be unclear and +change without making sense.) diff --git a/site/style.css b/site/style.css index ca928d6..7aaeeab 100644 --- a/site/style.css +++ b/site/style.css @@ -97,6 +97,9 @@ dd { margin-left: 1.5em; } +hr { + margin-top: 1em; +} pre { margin-top: 0.8em;
