A) Locked in a room with a tiger for 10 mins. B) 10 mins with a gorilla. Are gorillas more territorial/aggressive? Could you survive a tiger attack, maybe holding the jaws shut? No chance with a gorilla attack, surely. Have you seen a shaved gorilla? Typical office politics.

We have revisited yesterday's sandwich filling. Soy sauce was ok, but the game-changer was adding Chiu Chow Chilli Oil - this holds the TC record for most rescued sandwiches. Disclaimer: This is not a corporate partnership (but it could be.... @LeeKumKeeUSA @LeeKumKeeEurope 😉)

Today's sandwich: sundried tomato pesto, potato hash brown, and rocket(arugula) on sourdough. The flavour profile is great but just a bit too dry and under seasoned. We think the best remedy is a splash of soy sauce, are we insane? (Sales currently binge-watching @masterchefau)

"Cheese... Cheese is good." - TC Head of Operations

The Carolina Reaper is (not uncontroversially, see Dragon Breath & Pepper X) the hottest chilli in the world. Bred by Ed Currie (appropriately named) in South Carolina it averages 1.6 million units on the Scoville scale, in the same range as law enforcement grade pepper spray.

The linguistic distinction between "unplugged" and "plugged out". Sales feels the former to be more passive. "Who would've unplugged the printer" suggests it returning to its natural, plugless, state. "Who would've plugged it out" lends itself well to this act of defiance.

13 of the 50 American states are split across at least two different timezones. Scheduling sales calls just got a lot more challenging.

imgur.com/gallery/amK8AGG Interesting maps. We were surprised to see the population density of Italy so clustered towards the alps. You could easily mistake it for a topographical map of Italy! #NerdHumour

Turns out you can't get much of a tan or vitamin D through a window. I'm being blinded sitting in my office chair for nothing.

What cubic footage of beans is appropriate for a bean bag? The one in the office is currently around 6 cubic foot of beans, it's a big bag but those beans don't go as far as you might think they would.

Today's topic: The Art of Sandwich making. Sales team are arguing for a street food stall or @MasterChefUK/@MasterChefUSA contestant whose dishes are all a different and creative form of sandwich. @GreggAWallace , thoughts?

Did you know that 24% of the world's cranes operate in Dubai? They also import both sand and camels from Australia, despite sitting in the middle of the Arabian Desert.

Few of us back in the office at last, today's chat: 58% of Idaho's market for processed potatoes goes to french fries (chips) #TheMoreYouKnow

If your diet is both low protein and ketogenic at the same time, what percentage of your calories come from mayonnaise?

23andMe would be less disconcerting if A) they made clear that they do sell your data for worthy causes like R&D and disease prevention and say who they sell it to, and B) they didn't say that they will pass on that information to law enforcement at their discretion.

The GDP of Syria (in terms of Purchasing Power Parity/the Big Mac Scale) isn't far off the GDP of Luxembourg as per CIA estimates.

Today's topic: The politics of Trap Music and 12 year old youtubers.

When running down the street in everyday clothes (ie. you're not exercising, you're late) how to you handle it when you get tired? Slowly peter out and fall back into an amble or go hell-for-leather, gasp, and bend over with hands on knees?
