Forget about code writing jobs going to India... they're heading for the zoo!”

“Thanks Tilt!


That explains where all of our IT guys got their training. I am so relieved to have solved that mystery.”

“Explains that funny smell that emanates from the programmer's cave, too...”

“You know what they say, "It's so easy, you can teach a monkey to do it."”

“Since most companies have skunks, rats, weasels and snakes in upper management, having apes doing the actual work makes perfect sense.”

“<G>

“Maybe lyra could start a temp agency.”

“i knew there was a logical explanation to violin's hacking skills........”

“although monkeys aren't apes, ours do need to get off their furry arses and support us!
;-)”

“Or fix that hairy ape you damned bug!”

“vIoLiN, that is sooooo true!

Those foul critters are in middle management too!”

“Shouldn't the profiles say "personal website" instead of "homepage"? Homepage is where your browser goes first when you open it. This has tormented me for years.”

“report to the pet peeves thread”

“maybe they really want to know what your homepage is

in that case, refer to the big brother is watching you thread”

“i understood what they meant... homepage. if they wanted your personal web page they would have asked for that.”

“ok, mine is drudgereport. Now what?”

“what possible good could it do to know that my homepage is barelylegalbimbos.com?”
