If there's one thing I learned from English last year, it's to question the decisions behind minute details. Or more accurately, Ms. Moore likes it when you question the decisions behind minute details (For instance, why on earth would someone decide to use the word 'patronizing' versus 'condescending').
I've been staring at the scroll bars on the side of mac windows. They resemble these little blue fluid pockets/bubbles surrounded in just a wee bit of water, and then a vacuum above and below that. So in between the blue and the vacuum there's something that resembles a meniscus. But the insane part is that when you bring the blue scroll bar closer to one the up/down arrow the meniscus actually straightens out smoothly.
I suppose it's not quite the same question seeing as how in reality, the borders of bubbles do straighten out when they come into contact with solids--and that would be the reason behind such detail, but it's just as bewildering to realize someone pays that much attention to such tiny things.
