    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.
