Second row, third from left: I used to use a very similar one of these comptometers, made by Burroughs. I used it to work out discounts like thirty-three and one third % plus ten %, which is 40%, not 43.33% of course. More complicated discounts were not so obvious and needed a machine to work out.

Those were the (non-decimal) days when men were men and pin tables were the Quake of the day. 

mfx - That's an awesome link. And then I saw this : "Curated by Paul Pepera." Ahh, that's why. :) 

you knew.

But it works. 

do a google image search for "cob house" 

https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=617&q=cob+house&oq=cob+house&gs_l=img.3..0l10.658.658.0.2078.1.1.0.0.0.0.59.59.1.1.0.msedr...0...1ac.1.64.img..0.1.58.x5HRKLrIXd4&gws_rd=cr&ei=02s3VaenJNHcaqPZgagN#tbm=isch&q=cop+house&.0.0.0.59.59.1.1.0.msedr...0...1ac.1.64.img..0.1.58.x5HRKLr

There is saying in cologne that goes like this. When they started rebuilding the city after war, they said to themselves: "Lets build it ugly this time, so it doesnt hurt that much should it be destroyed again."

Cologne has some really ugly post war buildings. 

How to make a google image search link not look like shit: delete everything except "tbm=isch" and the search terms, since that's all that's necessary to get the default GIS results.

that wouldn't help with MFX's link since that looks like the url you get when you "search for an image related to this image" (like when you hit "75 more" in one search and go into another).

also f u spirit 

I did upload one image/image search on google, no clue how to shorten that.
