    Anecdotally, at least one of the major UK banks has its mainframe computer systems still running in LSD and it converts every transaction between that and decimal...

    When you get into the car, sit on your settee, get out of bed, try to put your shoes and socks on, go to sit on the toilet, pull up some weeds in the garden .... and every one of these is accompanied by a loud grunt.

    The barber you have been going to since you were a kid unprompted starts using clippers to shave your eyebrows when you go for a haircut.

    When the mirror isn't used to see if you look alright, those days have long gone, it's sole purpose is to make sure your dinner isn't all down the front of your shirt.

    When the teachers who used to teach you and who looked 50 years older than you, are still alive and you find out that in fact they're only 20 years older than you.... if that.
