Atlantis bureaucracy

Two scenes from Stargate Atlantis. Nothing profound, just funny. Spoilers for Stargate Atlantis Season 5 Episode 14: The Prodigal

(This clip switches from the first scene of the episode to the second last scene of the episode around the halfway mark, but it's not immediately clear - the change is when he says 'anyway I just wanted to stop by...')

None of the above

All questionnaire questions should have a 'none of the above' option (preferably with a space to explain why).

'Don't know' is not the same.

Different colours

 It's amazing how different the same pattern can look in different colours.

Squares of patchwork fabric: Blue leaves and navy blue birds on a very pale blue background. Olive green leaves and beige birds on a cream background. Dark green leaves and pale blue birds on a very pale blue background. Olive green leaves and dark grey birds on a beige background. Charcoal leaves and terracotta birds on a light terracotta background.

What a good idea!

I've often thought it odd, that when you get flowers they come with a sachet of food, but then when you change the water - which you're supposed to do - you're throwing away the flower food and now just have plain water.

Obviously someone else thought this was odd, too.

Two sachets of flower food - one labelled 'for today', and one labelled 'for day 3'
