People need to be made aware of this line I saw on a tech blog:

"Using Yesterday's Software to create tomorrow's problems today"

Thought that was funny coming from a techie-universe.

It's that time of year again. Visit Elf Yourself to turn yourself into an elf.

To anyone you see in costume, the following is a classic that works pretty much all the time:

An amazing elephant story...

Sometimes I like these heartwarming stories, but this one is truly interesting…

In 1986, Dan Harrison was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Dan approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Dan worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Dan stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.

Dan never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Dan was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenage son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Dan and his son Dan Jr. were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Dan, lifted its front foot off the ground, and then put it down. The elephant did that several times, then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Dan couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant.

Dan summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Dan's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly. Probably wasn't the same elephant.

Here's a blurb stolen from PurpleGables.Wordpress.com:

"What’s RapLeaf, you say??

RapLeaf is a creepy stalker's dream come true. It's basically a website where you go and type in someone's email address and, like magic (evil, black magic, that is) you get a page with links to every single place that person has a web presence - blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn, flickr photos, you name it."

Here's the link.

I tried it and got nothin' on me. But I didn't ask them to get back to me in an hour (as they offer to do). I guess that gives their evil machines time to scour the web searching for your soul.

From a coworker when discussing another coworker's baby/recent birthing experience where only a heating pad, laughing gas, and yoga ball were used:

"I would've been drugged up for 3 weeks before the due date, just in case, and told the doctors, 'Wake me up when it gets here. Better yet, wake me up when it's 18.'"

No, this isn't an article about me having a logic problem (i.e., no logic). It's a brain teaser article thingy. A logic problem.

I pilfered these links off an MSN.com article. There's just two, but they're pretty neat. Yeah, I said pretty neat. You get the truth on our site. They're not groundbreaking. They're not "must-click." They're just pretty neat.
