Ok then, how about this "theory": only one life-forming planet per galaxy. We're the germ, the solar system our seed, & the Milky Way is the ditch where our weed will someday grow, at least until it is noticed by the Great Farmer's Wife, thereafter fated to be yanked out by the roots and fed to the Smelly Swine of Indifference. Who knows? But that surely beats going to the 9th circle of hell & watching Carrot Top for the rest of infinity.
since when is a 50 people company considered mid-sized?
Good point -- the Small Business Administration uses 500 people or less to define a "small business" for most industry groups (see http://www.sba.gov/size/sizetable.html); however, some industries can have as many as 1,500 employees and others as few as 100.
So, at least by gov't definition, 50 people is a "small business" regardless of the business type.
