Did you know that Donald Rumsfeld stands at a specially made desk in his office? It's kind of like a lecturn but bigger and higher.
When he was revising the guidelines for prisoner treatment at Guantanamo Bay, one of his henchmen pointed out that forcing prisoners to stand to for more than 10hrs contravened the Geneva Convention. Rumsfeld quipped in reply "I stand for 9hrs a day and I don't have a problem with it!"
