  1. They really should get that zip - code thing right in that movie. HE might not know what the Zip code thing is for, but I DO! It's for the mail - sorting machines. If the zip is not readable by the OCR machine, a picture of that piece of mail is taken and sent to a computer bank in another department of - site, where people sit at a screen and read these zip codes and enter them on a keyboard, and these are sent back to match with the resorted mail. So, yes they do mean something: the continued fast - tracking of mail. I have worked on the OCR's and on the zip-reading computers, as a MUM clerk (missent, unsorted, mis-zipped mail), and some hand - cased mail. If there are hand - cased (hand sorted and canceled) mail, its volume won't reach anywhere near the capacity of one mail tray in a day if at all. Just a smattering that wouldn't even stand up in a tray. Of all the mail processed at the main post office in Louisville, KY where I live, it's remarkable we would even have a half - hour's worth of hand-casing in a day! Everything from letters and bills and junk mail, catalogues and magazines are handled with amazing machines! I adore the Post Office!

  2. Weird laws? Sure! In Louisville, KY, you can't walk your pig on the sidewalk. Well, also the only farm animals you can have on your property are chickens and goats (there might be one more). It's illegal to spit on the sidewalk here (and I've seen it regularly before last year.) The law will fine you for having thistles on your property in Kentucky. $5 per instance. I've been told it's because it competes with Bluegrass for nutrients, and if course that's why horse farms are here in Kentucky: to feed horses on that premium Bluegrass that is plentiful here.

  4. If this certain gov't official actually did falsify the weather, could he be tried as a civilian? And will he be?
