@Brian; I work as a cashier. Do you know how many people have serious control issues? The number is staggering, I have seen everything from people screaming at me over two cents to a man that literally placed every item he purchased in small plastic bags. That's right, cans, boxes of cookies, everything. Why? Well, salmonella, of course! And God forbid his cutesie little box of cookies or can of mushroom soup even touches the till, let alone the scanner! *gasp*
@Brian; I know this doesn't help the discussion, and this is pointless information, but cashiers are in fact measured by I.P.M., or items per minute. Since I'm a pianist, I do most things two handed, cleaning, etc. So I do the same with scanning, and consequently I actually have the hightest I.P.M. in the store. I'm usually at around 35, though it varies between 31 and 35 most weeks; the store average being 19. I'm not very good with people, so maybe that's the only reason I still have a job. It's just funny that the Alan Partridge guy talks about speed. It's literally pointless, it's dumb, because the main idea behind the job is dealing with people.

First edition of one of the most important works in the history of electricity in the excessively rare offprint believed to have been issued in only twelve copies, one of which was sent to Volta, who repeated Galvani’s experiments. This is the second issue of the offprint of Galvani’s famous paper from the journal De Bononiensi Scientiarum et Artium Instituto atque Academia Commentarii, volume 7, pp 363–419.
By the middle of the 18th century various books on electricity were available in Italian, and in 1744 Benjamin Franklin's famous book on electricity appeared in Italian translation. Galvani was influenced by Franklin's "one fluid theory,"
Who are Jefferson and Washington now? The resurfacing of politicians or people connected to power as actors is a bit puzzling, why do they all come as such? Is it the adulation of the crowds, the protagonism, the craving for the love of the audiences, something all actors search,what? They are all tecnically shy, something interesting and also puzzling too because it is contradictory to someone who puts himself in a place of maximum exposure. The contradictions of being human...
