    Falcon and Winter Soldier: Ed Brubaker Slams Marvel Residuals (gizmodo.com)

    Despite comic book superheroes being some of the biggest moneymakers on screens big and small lately, the creators who brought them to life in the first place rarely get more than a fraction of that financial success coming their way. But as Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier cooks up a storm on Disney+, comics writer Ed Brubaker has opened up about just how big that disparity really is.

    I think the square comes from a slight difference along the diagonal side. There's enough slack in the positioning to cover it.

    Correct. It's barely noticeable for the human eye, but that  tiny overlap is the missing square when all added up ;)

    There's a Wikipedia article on how it works:

    Well that was entertaining.

    This is work avoidance taken to extremes!

    ...

    A hospital employee in Italy has been accused of skipping work on full pay for 15 years, local media report.

    The man is alleged to have stopped turning up to work at the Ciaccio hospital in the southern city of Catanzaro in 2005.

    He is now being investigated for fraud, extortion and abuse of office, Italian news agency Ansa reports.

    He was reportedly paid €538,000 (£464,000) in total over the years he is thought not to have been working.
