Monday Funnies
If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's an erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen... and replaced by exact duplicates!" His mind tends to see things a bit differently than the rest of us mortals.
Here are some samples:
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.
Half the people you know are below average.
Waterfall 2006 - International Conference on Sequential Development
At first, I thought it was serious - but this site is almost as good as the Curt Jester.
Waterfall methodologies are those that progress in linear fashion through a series of stages - for example, Feasibility, Requirements, External Design, Program Specifications, Coding, Testing, Production.
The problem with waterfall methodologies is that they don't work all that well. Trying to create complete, perfect system specifications before you start any coding simply ensures you've wasted a bunch of effort, because once developers start coding, design flaws become evident and require that you revisit earlier stages.
Except that you can't, because that stage is complete and there's no budget for going back.

Hat tip to Gen X Revert, who is busy planning his nuptials!
TSO has a post up on Calvinism - it's a bit more like Jeff Miller than TSO, though. Or maybe it just shows another side of his talents.
I personally found it hilarious - I wonder what an equivalent would be for Catholicism?
(thanks to an old friend of mine who emailed this to me - just in time, too!)
When a co-worker comes in a little too happy singing "Good Morning" to everyone and you think, "Somebody needs to slap the s#@! out of her". You need to pray at work.
When someone comes in and announces, "Office meeting in 5 minutes," and you think, "What the f*&% do they want now?" You need to pray at work.
When your computer is mysteriously turned off and you want to say, "Which one of you sons of b*&^%$# turned off my computer?" You need to pray at work.

If you avoid saying more than hello or how are you doing to someone because you know it's going to lead to their life story . You need to pray at work.
