      Hopefully the FedEx cats can teach those "special" workers at Kinko's a thing or two about running a business...

              Do you guys ever wonder why a private US corporation is allowed to use the name "Federal Express"? I mean, Federal makes it sound like a government thing, right? Go try to register a company called Federal whatever, think they'll let you? Off topic but I've always found that to be strange.

                  I suppose the same reason United Parcel Service coined the word United. Doesn't imply it's government owned just because of the United.

                              I don't see your point, untited and federal are two totally different words. The word united is almost never used for government agencies and shit. It's always the Federal department of whatever. The only private companies I can think of that are allowed to use the word Federal in the USA are Federal Express and the Federal Reserve. Owned by the same people coincidently. Strange if you ask me.

                                  FedEx bought out kinkos because kinkos is a huge drop off center for FedEx. It makes sense. I believe they will have mini stations in some of the larger Kinkos.
