IS YOUR I.T. GUY A ZOMBIE?

does he use too much Axe bodyspray or too much cologne (to cover up the smell of his rotting flesh)?
does he nibble at your ankles when plugging in your network cable under your desk?

does he stare at […]

REDESIGNING THE AARDVARK

So this will be the new “Web 2.0″ look for the ‘vark. Whaddaya think?

Just kidding. But go ahead and generate a design for yourself, then sit back and watch the money roll in. Whee! (Via Generator Blog.)

DEPT. OF NO SURPRISES

If you thought that the people most in need of help buying health coverage were the working poor, you haven’t been hanging around administration circles. The Bush plan would raise the amount that could be contributed into an HSA to $10,000 a year, a sum even most middle-class families don’t have lying around.

CRIPES, DON’T YOU HAVE BETTER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT?

Start with the Caucasian, gun-carrying Man with the Yellow Hat venturing to Africa (imperialism alert!) to harvest wildlife for a zoo (animal repression alert!). Continue with George being unsupervised and allowed to smoke a pipe and huff ether (bad parenting alert!), and it’s a wonder there aren’t pickets already forming around movie theaters.

POST-RAPTURE PET CARE

Who is going to care for your pets after you are raptured into heaven?

IN INTERVAL NEWS …

Last year, Scottish composer Stuart Mitchell was hailed a “genius” when his research led to the unravelling of musical codes embodied in 213 stone cubes in the ceiling of the Midlothian chapel.
