Three guys are sitting around discussing the greatest invention ever.
First guy says, "That's easy; the automobile. It changed society and our way of life."
Second guy says. "No, it was the telephone. It revolutionized communications, made anyone accessible to anyone else, anywhere in the world."
Third guy says, "Nope. The Thermos bottle."
The other two are incredulous. "Thermos bottle? Are you nuts?"
Third guy nods with conviction, "Thermos bottle: You put hot things in; they stay hot. You put cold things in; they stay cold. How does it know?"
I was at work today, slightly bored in the afternoon. I saw my coworker at the copy machine in the hallway (Konica Minolta business copier), and he told me that some people had tried photocopying a 20 dollar bill earlier, and the machine refused to do it.
I didn't believe it, so I put my 5 dollar bill on the glass (Yes, sadly I'm still an intern), covered it with some a sheet of paper with some text to make it seem legit, and pressed copy. The machine scanned the document, and gave me an error message: "REPLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL IS PROHIBITED. PLEASE CHECK COPYRIGHT REGULATIONS."
Holy crap. How does it know?
