Kathy, wanting to buy Apocalypto is the first sign of the Apocalypse.

This would be a good time to post this song from this week's Flight of the Conchords-- for all former French students, megan, and bossa nova fans (Hec).
My housemate and I just about died when we watched that episode. It ranks right up there with their rapping and the David Bowie visions as favorite FotC moments.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh my god. The University of Chicago? WTF?
One of the nation's top business schools wants to ensure that the art of boring businesspeople at meetings never dies.
The University of Chicago, which has the fifth-ranked M.B.A. program in the country, is requiring prospective students to submit a PowerPoint-style presentation with their applications starting this fall.
The purpose isn't to outline brilliant business plans, but to let applicants tell the admissions board all about themselves. The admissions board hopes this will allow applicants to show off their creativity.
The presentation can be no more than 4 slides and is limited to text and static images. Other slide presentation programs besides PowerPoint can also be used.
"We wanted to have a freeform space for students to be able to say what they think is important, not always having the school run that dialogue," Rose Martinelli, associate dean for student recruitment and admissions, told the Associated Press. "To me this is just four pieces of blank paper. You do what you want. It can be a presentation. It can be poetry. It can be anything."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I posted in the other thread that this was my favorite episode. I hadn't heard that song before seeing the show, and it is delightful. Ca va? Ca va!

I'm sure God has sent the Pope an email all about the end of the world. With an attached PowerPoint presentation.

Would God use bullet points, or some other graphic in his PowerPoint presentations?
