And they didn't stop with TiSP, either:

But what about the environment?

Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.

I wonder how many Google-rs know what "sputum", post-organic soybean or otherwise, is?   Look.gif

A greater proportion than CompUSA customers, I'll wager.  Devilish2.gif

How true!

My favorite "result" (adding considerable probative weight, of course, to Google's thesis) was the reference tying Skinner's scholarship

Why pigeons persist

to the "Credits and Refunds" section of the IRS Code.  toothgrin.gif   toothgrin.gif   toothgrin.gif   toothgrin.gif   toothgrin.gif  

How very appropriate to the "season".
