More importantly, WGAF? Knowing any or all of those answers would add absolutely nothing to my life, so why would I waste my time learning it? I have to know plenty of stuff I don't really care about for my job, I'm in no hurry to learn boring chit about other peoples jobs. I assume if I ask you questions about the Canadian electrical code you'd have all the answers off the top of your head,no?
