Well, it was a long weekend. We upgraded our ArcIMS servers (more on that some day perhaps) on Sunday and finished just in time to make it to a Super Bowl party. So rather that work on some sort of deep thoughtful post, here’s a little light humor for Monday.
I get a lot of emails that are simply forwards of some inane ramblings meant to be deep (hmmm, hopefully that’s not what I’m doing here). Often they are complete with frilly formatting and angry-fruit-salad color schemes. A while back on a forum I frequent I posited some email “laws”. So here’s the first one:
LKS’s Law of Redundant Repetitive Email
In general, the more times an unattributed story appears in your inbox, the less likely it is to be true.
Corollary: The greater the number of different formating styles that appear in a story the greater the likelihood of it being completely made up crap.
Corollary 2: The more derivative an email is, the more likely it is to be utter crap.
Corollary 3: Messages attributed to famous people are likely written by some anonymous Cretan living in their parent’s basement and thus utter crap.
Fell free to email these to all your friends.
