yes, familiar, but he did it first with us.

...

Any of this sound familiar, Coupland Crew?

good luck with that Al!

I'm starting to apply for my future job now... I don't think I'm qualified enough for any of them... Oh well you got to try I guess.

where's our WORLD'S LARGEST DONAIR?

Andy, (and anyone else who reads PA), before you ask what the little dude on the table in today's strip is, the answer awaits here. (And the answer is quite amusing.)

Al, you seem pretty bitter towards bureaucratic organizations, for someone who hasn't ever had to work at the bottom of one.

Tay, the Mundare thing led me to this page of large Canadian roadside attractions. Of (depressing) note are some of the Alberta ones:

• World's Largest Mallard Duck -- Andrew


• World's Largest Beaver -- Beaverlodge


• World's Largest Putter -- Bow Island


• Susie the World's Largest Softball -- Chauvin


• Biggest Piggy Bank in the World -- Coleman


• World's Largest Chuckwagon -- Dewberry
• 
  
• World's Largest Lamp -- Donalda


• World's Largest Dinosaur -- Drumheller


• World's Largest Western Boot -- Edmonton


• World's Largest Bee -- Falher


• World's Largest Pyrogy -- Glendon


• World's Largest Sundial -- Lloydminster


• "The Legacy" - The World's Largest Bucking Saddle Bronc and Rider -- Ponoka


• World's Largest Oil Derrick -- Redwater


• World's Largest Badminton Racket -- St. Albert

That DNA activation thing seems pretty sketchy to me. Do people actually believe all that junk on the internet? You wonder why this world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Do you guys know what's weird? Sitting in front of your rival for a design project and hearing all about the plans they have for their designs. I don't think they remember I'm doing the same project. Hilarity will insue.

The head scientist still sounded fairly optomistic about the whole thing. But NASA are a bunch of bureaucratic jerks who sit behind desk all day and jockey for funding for their own personal experiments. They take money away from maitenance and their shuttle fleet is suffering because of this. It is another one of those sad stories of a once great organization falling apart due to in-fighting and the bureacratic bloat which render most organizations into ineffectiveness. They never streamlined the company and are therefore ineffective as any governmetn agency out there.

Another ineffective agency is the IRS. In one example of their incompetance, it took them pratically 10 years to fine Richard Hatch the winner of the first survivor for tax evasion. Kind of funny considering 56 million people saw him win a million dollars and it took the IRS this long to figure out he didn't report the increased income. The incompetance of organizations make you wonder why this world just doesn't grind to a halt.

Sorry for the ranting.
