Woh! What is this thing?!
This is a social bar from the Dilbert team and our friends at Meebo. It is a cool little feature we've added to Dilbert to make sharing comic strips, Mashups and other content, a simple click of the mouse from any page.
Try it out – use the buttons to instantly send the next funny comic you read to your Facebook status or your Twitter feed. We’re adding even more ways to share soon, so check this space often!
lol... I also have friends who do that when they come into my office... And like you, I try to keep only the sturdiest of my mementos out because it's happened quite a few times that some of the more fragile ones got damaged... One that attracts a lot of attention is a bank of huge rectifiers with heatsinks that I recuperated from a dismantled power plant project... The great handiwork makes a nice conversation piece and the technos _will_ touch it, but it's heavy enough that they will usually refrain from casually picking it up ;)
Now come to think of it, I admit to this klepto tendency, but instead of picking up things I tend to jingle the keys in my pocket :D
@Old_Faithful - Thanks for the explanation. So what you mean to say is that this lady (she's Tina, I presume) has a 'Howard Hughes' kind of syndrome (I remember Leonardo DiCaprio in The Aviator obsessively scrubbing his hands with soap and water after shaking them with others.)
Along similar lines, I have an old Matchbox toy (a small military jeep with an attached trailer and a tiny driver) kept on my CPU. Everyone who comes over to my desk to have a short chat ends up picking it, driving it a little on the cubicle wall and then inadvertently dropping it on the floor 3 feet below. This has happened at least half a dozen time and the jeep's still intact, a testament to Matchbox's superior plastics and build quality :D
