Just be be clear, they were saying "Merry Christmas", right?
Because if it was "Happy Holidays", I'll have to call out the Christian Coalition to Crusade against the WAR ON CHRISTMAS!

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
Let me just give you the background on the raisin/champagne thing.
My job has a fun factoid of the day thing on our internal website. The factoid of today was that a raisin will float in a Fresh glass of chmpagne and will continuously move from top to bottom.
My entire office is now trying to figure out a way to see the video so that they can make a complaint against the site editor because she is a real asshat. If you have in fact dispproved the raisin scenario, then she doesn't get her bonus for this quarter. She is solely in charge of editing the site and the president takes pride in his factoids so she always gets in trouble for bogus info.

So you're saying I can keep this "*****," if you will, from getting her bonus if I'm able to prove this little theory incorrect.
Oh man
If the Youtube video doesn't do it.. I'll pick up a friend with a video camera, film myself going into the liquor store, buying the champagne, pouring it and then dropping a raisin in. I'd take much joy in knowing I 'caused that without being affiliated with the company in any way whatsoever.

LOL!! Do it! I will let you know on Monday what happens. One of my co-workers e-mailed the you tube video to the president so we'll see.

You got it! The President is picky about two things:
1) no light can ever be out ever in any of our offices--he changes the lightbulbs himself and will deduct bonuses from employees at that office for "burnt out" lightbulbs.
2) The Factoids "We can't expect our agents to pitch us as a dependable company if we can't even get something as simple as the factoid correct." (His words exactly as per our last quarterly meeting)

Awesome, I'm sure I'll be heading to the store tonight anyways. I'll do it providing someone has an actual "video" camera and not a digi-cam that can record 2 minutes of video

Wow. If I had a boss that was that picky over something so small, I'd demand a Factoid Expense Account so I could purchase whatever items necessary to do a fact check.
Tonight: Will a raisin really float and sink in a glass of champagne?
Tomorrow: Will a Ferrari really outrun Viper?

You're trying to prove a point using utube? utube... the place that had one of the biggest freakin rumors posted over and over again about how pouring coca-cola over pork brings out massive quantities of mealworms, which btw, is a complete lie.
Unfortunately there are too many videos that are just pure lies on there. Only way to really know - is to try it yourself.

I'm torn. The YouTube video is on the Internet. Ergo, it must be true. However, Leonai's post is also on the Internet so it must be true as well. I am so confused.

What the hell is a factoid, anyway?
Made-up words are MY koolaid, dammit!

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Its a fun fact. clicky!
Edit: LOL! The first definition says mostly speculation or assumption, not necessarily true. Look at the "other meaning".

Well, then. Your boss should be insisting that they NOT be true!

That makes more sense. We do the same thing at my house, we don't have a big party, we just hang out and enjoy our family and friends.
yeah years ago we used to have big parties with friends, family, and students. now it is just family.
as to the statement about being 1 step closer to being the grinch, my wife has said that about me for a few years.

I don't have time for your obviously "edited with special effects" video, Ikkian.
