this made me laugh (the cave part made me laugh)
"Tiny Reader Puts Wikipedia In Your Pocket | Wired.com
When the zombie apocalypse hits, you’ll want to have a copy of Wikipedia with you. And you’ll want to make sure it works even if the power is out, cellphone and internet connections are nonexistent, and you’re hunkered down in a remote cave. That way, you’ll be able to consult the sum of all human knowledge to figure out if that mushroom you’re looking at is a healthy and nutritious snack, or a fatally neurotoxic toadstool…" (in the olden days sometimes animals were corralled into caves for the night)

It makes a good case for making sure it's the one thing you grab when you're escaping a zombie attack. That's what I call good advertising!

My counter part said....
In a meeting, my counterpart said, "I can't do that ( a task he was asked to do) because I am incompetent". (and I am a crappy speller) He makes about $20,000 a year more than me. I thought to myself, "If you really don't believe you can do the work, that is one thing, but why announce it to everyone?" I do get alot of his work to complete. Funny to me.

^I did a Chrysler commercial last year minutes after their bailout and I made a LOT of money, considering the fact that I was only background. I consider it my own little piece of the stimulus package. But I was amazed at the amount of utter waste and incompetence on that shoot.
This made me laugh today - If games inspired by today's movies and TV shows were made by Atari...
