So the general consensus is that this is, in fact, a stapler (or according to [livejournal.com profile] webofevil, a Wilson's Patented Staplophasic Connectogram).

I only asked, because someone at work keeps referring to them as "stapling machines", which I suppose they technically are, but it somehow always gives me visions of something more at home at a commercial printing press.

They keep getting mentioned as something students can bring with them into the exams, which gives me very odd visions of all the students coming in lugging these printing presses behind them.

Oh well, I guess I just have to start calling them staplophasic connectograms then just to be ahead of the game...

Not a trick question, but I'm curious to know what you all call one of these (will explain why later):

I tend to shower more often than bath, but when I've got time it's nice to relax in the latter.

When I moved down to Croydon I had been surprised to discover that the bath in my old flat was shorter than usual and it wasn't possible for me to sit in it with my legs straight.

Having had the luxury of the use of a full length bath for the past six months, I was still aware that in moving back to London I'd probably end up with another short one, but didn't really mind. I wasn't therefore surprised, when I looked around the new flat, to see that the bath looked shorter than usual.

I didn't, however, fully comprehend quite how short it is.

It appears physically impossible to get my knees lower than the top of the bath without resorting to kneeling.

I guess I fundamentally don't fit in that one then.

Luckily there's a shower, so I won't have to go around with dirty knees all the time.
