TODAYS BRAIN DRAIN QUESTION:

FAST AND FURIOUS

As humans, we have a general lust for speed. We want faster computers, cars and athletes.

According to wannahaves.com, here are some of the greatest feats of speed humans have achieved:

1. Fastest text message -- Kimberly Yeo punched in 26 words in 43.24 seconds, beating a world record of 67 seconds for the same words set in 2003.

2. Fastest man -- Usain Bolt currently holds the world record for the 100 meters, the 200 meters and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 meters relay.

3. Fastest elevator -- The Taipei 101 elevator carries people from the ground to the top (101st floor) in 39 seconds, at a staggering 1,010 meters per minute. The cars are actually fitted with pressure control systems to keep your ears from popping.

4. Fastest Plane -- The X-43 is the fastest airplane in the world. It's unmanned and launches from a B-52 at about 40,000 feet in the air. It has been clocked at Mach 9.6 or 7,000 miles per hour.

Rules About Office Romances(Posted 3:00 AM, 1/28/2010)

There's no reason to avoid on-the-job romances completely, but no matter how casual they may be, you need to approach them with caution. Here are some important rules to stick by when starting something up with a co-worker: Keep it Quiet -- Don't jump the gun. Be patient and find your feet before going public. Stay Off the Grid -- Don't use work e-mail to communicate anything personal. Instead, use web-based mail. Stagger Entrances and Exits -- Show up separately in the morning and don't leave together at night. Full Disclosure -- When you become an established couple, consider being open and letting everyone know. This allows you to control the spread of the news rather than rely on waves of office gossip. Keep it Professional -- Avoid the use of pet names at work. Source: Reuters
