Custodial Diagnosis

me: how's the custodian feeling today?
Mark: dude, he is wicked sick
 he has a cough that sounds like the plague; went home yesterday with 104
 the custodian told me he'd been coughing so hard that his chest hurt when he touched it.
me: that's no good.  maybe he's pregnant?
Mark: [shudders]
 He has some sort of advanced excema; his skin looks like an elephant's, and he's constantly shedding it.
me: at least he's there to clean it up?

So, you think you know design? →

“As part of his master’s degree, Thomas Eichinger is conducting an interesting little design quiz. You are presented with 20 designs created some time during the last century. Your task is to correctly guess from which decade each piece is. You only have 20 seconds per piece, so it’s fairly fast-paced.”
