    Evil will always triumph over good, because good is dumb.

    I was fortunate enough to visit google's main HQ. They gave mea tour of thei server room. Now, on any server, you expect to have a few daemons. Google seem to have taken this literally. They summoned thousands of daemons from hell, and chained them to keyboards to answer people's queries.

    I was a little shocked by this, but I put my surprise aside. I've worked with a lot of tech companies. I can forgive them their idiosynchrasies. But then we went to their CEO's office. To even meet the CEO, you have to sacrifice a goat, and if you actually want a full length meeting, he demands nothing less that a virgin sacrifice. So I sacrificed someone who was there for a job interview. The COE was pleased with this sacrifice, and I got to see him. To my shock, I saw that the CEO was Satan himself!

    So don't believe the Google "Do No Evil" lies.

      That's ok. Here at google, we have plenty of those running rampant.

    I noticed you were modded 'Funny' for your comment. Funny? I think not. It's this sort of justification that lets beliefs like this survive.

    And it's comments like yours that demonstrate that the sarcasm gene is not evenly distributed.

    no, it's "minimalist" humor. In that the amount of humor in the post is minimal...
