Let me sleep on this

Another in the category of "life imitating art" -- we should call this The Costanza:
Remember kindergarten? It’s the only time in school we were offered naps and, if you were anything like me, you didn’t appreciate it AT ALL. My ungrateful five-year-old self was still reminiscing about recess, or scheming about how I’d try and persuade my mom to let me have a cat that week.
Twenty-five years later (um, wow), I’m kicking myself because we don’t get naps at work. If I wasn’t afraid of being judged hardcore, I’d totally bust out my fold-up red and blue mat – y’all remember the ones – but since my company isn’t Google and we don’t have napping pods, I just turn to coffee while channeling my inner Jack Shephard as I reminisce about all that wasted kindergarten naptime.
But today, our corporate-dwelling dreams have come true, my friends, because there exists a desk that is built for maximum napping efficiency. Created by Greek company Studio NL, the genius space-saving “1.6 S.M. of Life” prototype is basically a bunk bed where the top is for your laptop instead of a snoring sibling and the bottom is a cushy place for the beautiful naps you can take to beat those 3 p.m. slumps.

The mattress needs plumping, but otherwise great idea!

Because they waited 70 years to steal a British invention?

LMAO!!!
How stupid does a person have to be to not see the difference between a dining room table designed to be able to serve as a makeshift emergency air raid shelter during the London Blitz, (which I didn't need the link to figure out; just from the picture and the date it was obvious what was going on) and a work desk designed to accommodate nappy time?
I guess we just found out...

A table with a bed under it.
And
Another table with a bed under it.
Hatred makes you stupid.

LMFAO!!!
How predictable was

Instead of being
embarrassed when he gets called on this idiotic comparison, he's actually returned to
defend it and double down on stupid....
Hatred makes you stupid.

Well you would certainly be living proof of
that, rube...
Except as I've said before I'm not sure if it's your hatred that makes you stupid, or your stupidity that makes you hateful...
Or even if your stupidity and your hatefulness exist entirely independently of each other...
Oh, and in case you'd like to return to this thread and
triple down on stupid, you'll be needing this:

The similarities are greater than the differences. But you would have to be honest to admit that. And as a Republican, honesty is not in your skill set.

Well, that's a crying shame......I always like naptime.....a chance to "zone out" for a few.....much like I do now.
