The Back-up Plan

I just watched a film called “the Back-up Plan”. About half-way through it I thought it would be hilarious if I were to live blog watching it. As funny as that would be, it wasn’t worth re-starting the film for. Instead, this post offers you a way to imagine what such a post would have been like.

Enjoy.

Do you have the Optimum?

“Do you have the Optimum?”, the young lady at Shopper’s Drug Mart asked.

The answer was “no”. And, really, this is the whole post. I found her asking if I have “the Optimum” to be funny.

Unit of measure

I came across a humorous measure today: there are two (live) popes per square kilometre in Vatican City. Consequentially, and perhaps unsurprisingly, Vatican City has the highest concentration of popes per square kilometre in the entire world.

Seven-legged Spider

Yesterday there was an article posted to slashdot about Microsoft accidentally overpaying some laid-off employees. Microsoft has sent a letter to affected employees requesting the overpaid amount be returned. I was reading through the comments and one person suggested responding with “Dear Mr. Ballmer, please accept this drawing of a seven-legged spider…”

This was followed-up by a comment that explained the reference by linking to a page on the website of one David Thorne. I had a good laugh at it. Quite a good laugh.
