Nike: Covering Every Market

While surfing the Nike website the other day, I came across the "Air Insurgent". Is Nike is trying to reach the untapped "Iraqi Freedom Fighter" market with this shoe? I'm sure it provides amazing grip and support for launching rocket propelled grenades.

New Holiday Tradition?

Nat King Cole's famous holiday tune about "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" sounds way more appealing than this hotdog stand's version of "Chestnuts roasting under a 40 watt bulb."

Worst Job EVER

Zookeepers in at Zoo New England say Gigi the Gorilla is doing fine after receiving a colonoscopy earlier this week.

Halloween Hangover

As per standard day-after-Halloween practices, somebody brought some of their kids Halloween booty into the office. Surprisingly, nobody took the candy inspired by the board game CLUE. I never thought there was such thing as boring candy until today. In fact, I'd rather take my chances with one of those famous razor apples than eat candy monkey wrenches and candle sticks holders. Who gave these things out..Colonel Mustard?

The elevator will also be able to break the world record for longest awkward silence after a small talk conversation.
