Saturday Humor: The Fed Is Hiring

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Now that the Federal Reserve has hired every single pennystock trader and momentum-chasing algo in the world (or at least is enjoying Citadel's helping hand in regards to the latter) it is time for the Fed's human resources department to branch out and fill those really important gaping holes.

This was only a test penetration.  If this had been an actual emergency penetration, you would have been instructed to tune to one of the MSM broadcast stations in your area.

I'd point any naive young job seekers to a take a holiday first: I've heard Qin Shi Huang's tomb is amazing. It remains largely unexplored, largely due to lack of technology and mercury contamination (the Emperor believed that mercury would give him eternal life, but ended up poisoning him), and because its secret defenses and location were protected at the time by a simple technique:

After Qin Shi Huang's death, the principal craftsmen of the hypogeum were walled up on the orders of the second emperor, as a precaution against their betraying their secrets.

Herd Redirection Committee's picture

Any time the 2nd emperor decides to kill off the 'principal craftsmen' you have to assume its because... The previous emperor was buried without any treasure.  I mean, really, if you just became emperor, would you entomb the previous emperor with all the riches he designated, or say you did?  And who can really prove you wrong?  Just those pesky 'principal craftsmen'...  Much like modern gold vaults then.

Check the image size (both widthxheight and KB). The Avatars have to be pretty tiny to upload, otherwise the server will simply reject them, it won't auto-resize for you.

 

Maximum dimensions are 40x40 and the maximum size is 150 kB. Try http://www.picresize.com/ if you can't do it yourself in Blimp / Paint whatever.

(Disclosure: no idea if that site is ok, was the first search result for "free image resizing". The trackers look ok, barring http://extremetracking.com/?kudo which looks a little invasive. If you're not blocking via Ghostery, consider doing it yourself).
