Without much ado, five minidoozies follow.
If it isn't one thing it's another, for our regular Argle Bargle. "I looked outside. Everything was soggy and I could hear claps of thunder. How long will it last? Click on weather and... um...

Meanwhile, new-nymed unity noticed "Airline schedules have the useful feature of telling you when a flight continues onto the following day or the day after with a +1 day or +2 days notation. Unfortunately, this airline has run into a bit of a rounding error." I recall just enough of my numerical analysis classes 30 years ago to remember that this can happen and you need to be careful about floating point. Which is still one bit more than whoever coded up this thing.
Mindboggled Michael R. wails "In what mathematical universe does this profit make sense?"
