Things I Learned Today
By Nick | December 10, 2009
Item One: Apparently, rubbing your body with charcoal eliminates your natural scent to the point where you can sneak up on nearly anything, including (supposedly) guard dogs.
Item Two: Barnes & Noble employees are surprisingly fast and strong. I learned this after wandering into their Union Square location to snap a few photos of the Nook for a slideshow/review, figuring I would save myself some time over having one of their PR people send me a review device. I managed to snap around five photos of the sleek, white little bugger before a random B&N employee advanced on me, muttering, “You can’t take photos inside the store!” and “I don’t care what you’re trying to do.” Fail. Epic fail.
Item Three: Apparently, when the NYPD meant Zero Tolerance about quality-of-life crimes, they weren’t kidding. Next they’ll start popping jaywalkers.
