    I have a new slogan for it

    Blender: Once you get to know how it works, it's super intuitive!

      Hammers: There's a handle, a smashy end.

      If only they made the metal handle easier to grasp and that wooden smashy end less prone to breaking ....

      Nipples.

      Nipples are intuitive. Best user interface ever!

      If anyone ever invented a nipple user interface for computers, they would not suck.

      Wait...

    Only 8 minutes sooner and you would have been modded funny, bolstering your self confidence, getting you that new job that lead to a fabulous career, a beautiful wife and being selected for the first L5 station in space 20 years from now as someone recognized your screen name and remembered laughing at your post years ago....

    Only... 8... minutes..

    Instead, Anonymous got it this time. And now anonymous will get all the glory.. again.

    It's not exactly easy to use but you sure don't have to wait on it.

    True, there's nothing worse than having to wait ten seconds before being flummoxed.
