  7. Zits on the face of the man in the moon? Oh Noes! -- The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it. What is this "finished" of which you speak?

  8. It seems their goal is to host the Winter Olympics in increasingly ridiculous climates, eventually to the point of getting the Winter Olympics in Dubai.

    Or Death Valley!
