Hola y Feliz Domingo,
Sorry if my Spanish is a little rusty. It's been a while since I was required to know it in order to get out of High School ;)
I hope everyone is having a pleasant and relaxing Sunday :) Today, we're going a little off the Linux/Unix-computing-humor beaten path with some humorous predictions for the year 2035 and a nice list of reasons why we're all so confused (it all seems so simple now...)
I found both of these entries on the Words Of Wisdom pages of CaughtAtWork.net. Coincidentally enough, even though it is the weekend, I'm actually writing this at work. Hopefully I won't get busted!
Enjoy the laughs and may the remainder of your weekend remain toil-free. Mine, too ;)
Cheers,
