-0.5% interest mortgages
Jyske Bank, Denmark's third-largest bank, said this week that customers would now be able to take out a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage with an interest rate of -0.5%, meaning customers will pay back less than the amount they borrowed.

How does one earn the Touched In The Head badge again?
http://what.thedailywtf.com/badges
That page is slightly less manic now that they've added groups for badges and I've organised them a bit. That one's down the
bottomtop (I've just reorganised them to push the software supplied ones down to the bottom). -

Over the last few weeks I’ve been feeling miserable and depressed, but I’ve managed to turn it all around, and now I’m depressed and miserable.

I called the RSPCA today and said, "I've just found a suitcase in the woods containing a fox and four cubs."
"That's terrible," she replied. "Are they moving?"
"I'm not sure, to be honest," I said, "But that would explain the suitcase..."

RE: The nerdy jokes thread (bonus original title mode!)
I was in the queue at Starbucks this morning. The man getting served in front of me asked for a mocha.
"Sorry sir, but we're out of mochas."
The guy was fuming. "I have a mocha every morning when I come in here!" he raged. "I'll just have to have a latte!" He went and sat down.
I went to the counter and said, "I'll have a large latte too, please."
They asked me for my name. I asked why they needed it and they told me that they'd write it on my cup and shout it when it was ready.
So I told them my name was Mocha.

I never wanted to believe that my Dad was stealing from his job as a road worker.
But when I got home, all the signs were there.

Support: I know I work for idiots. Sorry.
Signed up to newspaper site to comment on a story that was biased/wrong/idiotic. So far, so Meh.
Shortly after i started getting spamulated with irrelevant mails. After hitting the unsubscribe link on three different mails and getting sick of it, I went to Spamcop. Few days later...
From: Support bloke To: Me.
Hello SpamCop user,
Re: not honouring unsubscribe requests for Tivyside Advertiser Email Newsletters -
we haven't sent anything to this address (whatever@snkmail.com) since the 21st Jan (mail logs below).I suspect the perceived problem is caused by the fact that when you register, you get automatically signed up
for multiple newsletters, and hitting the unsubscribe link on one of them only unsubscribes you from
that particular newsletter, it doesn't unsubscribe you from all of them.I have pointed out that this is confusing/annoying to the people who are responsible for deciding that
it works like this, but without success. Many apologies for the irritation.Cheers,
Support bloke

Today during class , I was getting every question right, so this girl goes...
Girl: 'Wow , he's such a nerd'.
Teacher : 'Cut it out! He could be your boss one day, you know!'
Me : 'Highly unlikely , I don't plan on being a pimp.' -

RE: The Backup Likes Thread - Because it's not the same, now with semi(?)-mandatory likes and questions?
I guess we could pester @ben_lubar to find it in the DB dump. Surely the sanest way of doing it, since google killed off most of it's advanced search options. And I don't think CS's search is a worth a damn, is it?
:sigh: Ok - it was 2008.
And no - I don't have the old CS DB.

@ben_lubar You've spent two months not flipping a switch?
What kind of game are you playing here?
@polygeekery said in Delete my what.thedailywtf.com profile:
Why does a person who has never posted except to ask to delete his profile want to delete his profile? You wouldn't have one if you had not posted to have it deleted.
@coldandtired said in Delete my what.thedailywtf.com profile:
You also forgot it two months' ago.

I meant the adventure game that Xyro and dhromed "played" on CS
Ah. I didn't bother (re-)reading the thread - simply CtrlG'd through the page(s) skimming for dildos, purple or otherwise.
