Trying to Throw Away a Garbage Can

Garbage collectors aren't supposed to dispose of garbage cans, just empty them. But what if it's outlived its usefulness? How do you dispose of it? YouTuber sledguy910 had a garbage can that had holes burned into it, and after sitting around for a year or so, it had to go. It wasn't that easy.

This crew wasn't all that sure about what to do with a garbage garbage can, and even when they were, they had a hard time doing it. Lucky for us, there was a home security camera that caught all the action. With added narration. -via Digg

The graphic is wrong about how to use apostrophe with an abbreviation of a year. In the New York Times, the preferred abbreviation is number-apostrophe-s (e.g., 90's), while in many other publications the preferred abbrevation is apostrophe-number-s (e.g., '90s). It has nothing to do with its being possessive or not.

Not to mention the fact that the site's example starts a sentence with a numeral, which is wrong. Their "90's fashion was a bit awkward" should be "Nineties fashion was a bit awkward."

Cute source code, though.

Also notice the improper spelling of the word 'preceding' in the last sentence (entry 437 in the Big Book of Unintentional Ironies, '05, Houghton-Mifflin).

That bothered me, too. Possession has nothing to do with it. If you spelled it out, it would be "nineties fashion," not "nineties' fashion."
