Will the last person to get their news from TV turn the set when they’re done?
As of we needed more evidence that people are finding other ways to get their news: http://twitter.com/GregMitch/status/2538595035
Smart answer to a stupid question
An excellent response to questions from ill-informed and unthinking physicians:
My doctor asked me if I would like to have a government employee decide
my health issues. I said “No. I would rather have a retired nurse tell
you my private insurance company won’t pay for a procedure you believe I
must have.”
That shut him up.

The annotated original
I have a few more functions like this I could come up with.
if laundry_is_overflowing {
empty_it_into_basket();
take_clothes_to_washing_machine();
run_washing_machine(clothes);
}
if finished_with_book {
shelve(book);
}
if only the processing units involved were as easily directed . . .
