    All the time. Don't you watch Hawaii Five-0? There's no other search engine in the world! Just "Bing it!" (and, yes, they actually used the phrase on the show).

    Boo frickin' hoo. Every other team in the league has been a victim of the "Yankees zone".

    Even worse was the (non) double play at third in game 4 of the 2009 ALCS.

    This.

    If I'm point man on a project, and I get a job offer that is too good to turn down, I tell the new employer that I need to see a job through (or train a replacement) because my current employer doesn't deserve to be left in the lurch.

    Most new employers see that as a positive. I tell the old boss that I've accepted the new position, but I will see the project through (or train replacement). Again, a positive. No burnt bridges.
