The Audrey Underwear company in Taiwan asked it’s 500 women employs in the firms head quarters to come to work in camisoles and knickers to celebrate record sales. In fact, they have decided to repeat the event once a month. Needless to say, the male workers were excited about the record sales too.

"We have been waiting for this day all month. Today, we are super high, and don't know where to put our eyes," salesman Cai Mingda told Straits News. More than 90% of female workers reportedly went along with the spirit of the day and worked in their underwear. Huang Bihui, PR manager of the company, explained: "We introduced eight new camisoles into market and sold more than 20,000 in less than two months so we named the 21st as Camisole Day."

Found over at The Bachelor Guy

I got one of these for my cube, the boss didn't like it too much.

I don't know how I can top this one. Today is my boss's birthday and she told me last week she was expecting some sort of prank. So, over the weekend I pulled some left over drywall out of the garage and snagged some left over paint from the office. Hopefully I still have a job tomorrow, oh well-there's always unemployment!

Boss's Office Before-

Boss's Office After-

If you've ever watched "The Office" you've probably seen this before. I just wanted to see if it actually works. It sure did, and that calculator just happens to be owned by my boss. Hopefully I still have a job tomorrow. If not, oh well-off to the unemployment office I go!

Another great prank:
Find the person in your office that can't type without looking at the keyboard (maybe your safety manager?). Wait until they leave for the day, then pop all of the keys off and put them in alphabetical order. A flat-head screwdriver or quarter work best. Then, make sure you are the first one in the office the next day. Guaranteed they will be cursing the computer when they try to log on, my coworker sure did!

Every company has an employee that is capable of showing up on an otherwise normal Monday morning with an Uzi and a deathwish. The guy in this video is a great example.

The above photos are of workers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center sleeping on the job.

The pictures were shown on the watchdog Web site NASA Watch.

It shows three employees at the Hunstville, Alabama space center sleeping at consoles. A fourth is playing an online card game.

The employees worked for NASA contractor Teledyne Brown Engineering Incorporated in the space center's Payload Operations Center which manages the science operations of the international space station.

A NASA spokesman said the pictures aren't indicative of the performance of the overall team and calls them isolated incidents.

Managers were concerned about what they saw and are reviewing rulebooks.

Officials said only one of the employees in the photos still works for the Payload Operations Center. It's estimated the photos were a year-and-a-half old.

The photos were sent to NASA Watch by a former employee at the Marshall Space Flight Center.

I know it is from myspace, but it isn't the typical myspace crap...it is actually amusing.

For city dwellers tight on space and students in dorms, the Computer Bed combines a computer desk with a bed. A stylish wooden desk by that folds down to reveal a hidden twin sized bed.

Seriously would this not be awsome for work?

The translation isn't very good but I didn't have time to find the English version. Who really gives a shit about the text anyway???

NEW YORK - "my head e' an idiot. E' involved in arrogating way all the week ": these words are enough in order to justify a lay-off, after the normal reading of the email personal of one working from part of its employer; reading authorized from one permissive legislation a lot piu' in treatment topic gives you personal (and justified from piu' the important and pressing requirements of fight to the terrorism).

"In our ordering the violation of the confidentiality of an email corresponds substantially to the violation of the correspondence, in a generalized manner, like contained in the Constitutional charter to the art. 15"- the Avv has said. Andrea Lisi (scint.it) - "and the confidentiality of the protected correspondence e' also from the criminal code, in which, to the art. 616 c.p., e' operated one balancing between correspondence to epistolare, telegraphic, telephone, computer science or data transmission."

"In Italy" - he has concluded Lisi - "for a similar case the Court of Milan, 10 May 2002, thought the reading from part of the employer of some email not punile business that had carried to the lay-off of the worker".
