It’s the Pythagorean theorem that tells us that the square of the hippopotamus of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
There is some thought that the phrase “in the cards” originated from the reading of Tarot cards. Another similar phrase of “on the cards” (something I’d never heard of) is also attributed to the Tarot cards reading. Both appear to be slang.
“Well, that little devil up and challenged me to a game of ten-card tarot, pentacles wild. I seen him deal a High Priestess off the bottom of the deck, and then…”

To be fair, the desk should really read, “Inhuman Resources”. (As pretty much should they all.)

Okay, now I’m wondering who actually works in the tarot card industry and what the retirement plan looks like. I’d think their 401k would be awesome.

HR don’t need cards, they are too subjective in their decisions. (I’m trying to be nice, but it’s hard), good spotting John and it is funny…
