Global warming is ominous, but who ever suspected it might fracture skulls?  Great balls of ice!  

Or...have you hugged your megacryometeor today ?

Work is pinning me down too finely today.  I’m feeling like Gulliver constrained under the foul fingerings of a runt-load of Lilliputians.

memo from my soon-to-be ex-boss:

In case you haven't already heard, I just wanted to let you know that Steve has accepted a position in the xxx Department.  Despite his move to "the Dark Side", please wish Steve good luck in his new position.

Susan, Tom, Joe and I would like to thank Steve for all his fine support over many years.  Steve came to the yyy department after having supported zzz in Research for many years.  Steve has been a strong contributor to the success of yyy and we will miss his expertise as well as his often unique, philosophical way of looking at life and its many situations.  While we will miss him, it is good to know that the XYZ will continue to benefit from his extensive knowledge and expertise.  xxx will be better off because of his presence.

Good luck Steve, and thanks for the memories!

Dave

PS -  Steve has requested that henceforth he be addressed as "Darth nfp", apprentice to the evil emperor ("Mike").
