SEE DICTIONARY UNDER "PUTZ" you know who you are!

"You know who you are. Your space and your time is more valuable than ours. Work never ends. You have chosen to extend your workspace into our public space. You feel the need to be online all the time. You need people to see that you have a laptop, what you're working on, and how ambitious you are. Or your thighs are cold. I'm here to tell you that the subway is an inappropriate place for you to create your latest PowerPoint presentation for your boss. It's crowded. It may be hot. And I'm sure that I don't need your elbows in my space as you're manipulating pixels or entering sales data into your spreadsheets. So, for the 30 minutes I'm on the train, please refrain from whipping it out, okay? Thanks."

With that it can then generate power by using photosynthesis. It also harnesses some genes from the plant matter to make its own chlorophyll basically becoming a plant-animal hybrid. It can then live for days off the sun without the need to feed itself. Crazy...."

Just think of the possibilities here---we  could go to the beach to swim, surf, walk in the sand, play with the kids and soak up some rays AND WHILE WE ARE SOAKING UP THE RAYS WE ARE ALSO EATING AT THE SAME TIME! Going to the beach or just laying out on the lawn would be a cost-saving event! How convenient! How economical! We could all become fat cats!
