One in a trillion....

Take a look at this blemish on this apple. Now blur your eyes a lot and look at it again. You see it? Of course you do. This apple has the country of China on it. If you disagree, its probably because you see Iran.

Regardless, the odds of having a blemish that shows China and Iran at the same time is nothing short of staggering.

This was going on Ebay but I changed my mind and ate it.

What whacked out Religion is this?

I have heard (and respected) a lot of different religions in my day but this has got to be a new one. Mike and Karyn, who hosted the Monthly Wine Club this month had this taped on the inside front door. Yup, Bacon.

.

Bacon on the Door. That rules out Judaism or Islam. And, I cannot remember anything in the Bible regarding bacon on the door for Christians. Had a brief discussions with a couple of co-worker Budhists and Hindus and they are not familar with this custom. That leaves us with a Cult.

.

Some crazed out Bacon Cult that requires bacon to be taped to the door. Someone please help me understand!

Pretty Picture of Ken

Ken, the anti-blogger. I guess after this picture, we can also say the anti-attractive too.

This is a shot of us traveling home together on the company air shuttle last Friday. Ilan is in the background. Billy and Chalupa were also there.

Come to think of it, there were 3 more people on the plane from the Ethernet group. Are you guys made of money up on Mahogany row?

Portland Stinks....

Got a spam letter from Portland City Search regarding the 7 deadly sins of Portland. The link is below. However, I can summarize all of the sins that Portland has to offer according to this article:

.

Anger: Bowling

Envy: Restaurants

Gluttony: Restaurants

Greed: Powell's bookstore

Lust: Some park in NW PDX

Pride: A Shoe Store and a gourmet food shop

Sloth: A spa and a hotel

.

Yup. Portland Stinks.

WRONG!

For anyone who grew up on Chef Boy-R-Dee you should be as angry as I am when I opened up our pantry and found this.... Joe's O's? Organic? This is too much. If I EVER see a Joe's Organic canned Ravioli in my house there is going to be some big trouble!

Caught my funny bone.

I don't know why because it is not that funny but I saw this headline on CNN.com and had to laugh.

Smoking room Disaster!!!

First of all, I am not a smoker. However, smoking or smokers do not bug me at all. So, I am completely neutral on the subject.
.
Here is a picture of the smoking room entrance to our building. Note that to get to it, you must go through 2 doors. Well, we got a global email saying that there was a scent of smoke at a cubicle that was believed to have come from this smoking room. Keep in mind that the nearest cubicle is about 40 yards away and you must pass the elevators, bathrooms, and a minor maze of corridors to get to the nearest one. Now, once this scent was reported, the company went into action and temporarily closed the smoking room pending an investigation. The results of the investigation found that this room was not in compliance with the Oregon Smoke-free laws and permanently closed this room and people have been routed to the other areas throughout the campus.
.
So, the company locked the doors and posted the appropriate signs. Just yesterday, they added an orange warning cone in front of the door. I am scared to think of why that had to be added. Dollars to donuts says that someone got injured trying to open the door or slammed into it thinking it was open. Sigh.
