It's the Weekly What? for Friday, August 17th.
Please send us an air conditioner.You might think that we should just draw the blinds and set up a few fans and tough it out, that we'll be dreaming wistfully about these days come January. Obviously you've never seen a shirtless monkey. And we've got a whole room full of them! Ocular scarification. Oh well, they don't complain much and keep hammering away on their Smith-Coronas so there's that. (Although we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the monkey "funk.") Okay, so when you're done melting, stop by our Facebook page to answer this week's question: "What do you do to cope when the temperatures approach the triple digits??" 
Shouldn't you be on the Internet? Yes!There's no way that these kids' video presaged the feline domination of the Internet. It's pretty obvious to us that cats had already firmly established their presence on the Inter-tubes by 1995. Skynet's got nothing on the cats! Cat food cupcakes?! >> Space, the final frontier!We're still all pretty excited about the landing of Curiosity rover on Mars. So much so that we've been ordering in these "astronaut bananas" (Barf, right?) by the caseload for the Writing Room Monkeys. So here's a great round-up of space-related infographics. Did you know that the Curiosity rover is almost as large as a Mini Cooper car? That's right puny hu-man. The robots are getting BIG >> Happy Birthday LEGO!So you know LEGO bricks right? (Don't you dare say "Legos!") Well, LEGO the company started out making not plastic building bricks but wooden toys! Here's a fun animated video covering the origins of LEGO. Clutch Power! >> Share with us! See your name in the Weekly What? and earn undying fame and fortune! (Well, not that last bit, just the fame, okay?) Or, just send us a message saying "hi!" The Writing Room Monkeys would totally appreciate that! Talk back to us and let us know what's up. How much is that logo in the windooow?So how much does a logo actually cost, anyway? How do you judge the value of a brand's visual signifier? We could go on and on about that and likely bore you to tears but we won't. Instead take a look at this survey of well-known logos and their relative price tags. Some were definitely bargains, others maybe not so much. Or maybe they were! Oooooo-ooooo! Cha-ching! >> Here's your black belt in Excel-FuOkay, so "black belt" is exaggerating it but you'll still gain some awesome Excel cred around the office once people discover that you can trample data-entry tasks with ease. And by "awesome Excel cred" we mean "a bunch of extra work." (Sorry.) Enter data without even typing. Boom!! >> Fun with office supplies!No, not shooting staples across the room with the trusty Swingline. This is cool. Cooler than cool even. Something to impress your cubicle neighbors ("Dude, you made that instead of working on the TPS reports? You're sooo gonna get dinged on your performance review!"). Stymie your boss ("Where are all the %*$#@ binder clips??"). Win friends and followers. Wait, what are we talking about? Behold! The binder clip sphere >> The Weekly What? is more fun when you share!
