any bets on hitting or beating the 777 drop from last week? The trading floor support guys are going nuts since they used to be on the floor.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Only 66 more points to go. I can't say I'd bet against it.

I suspect the big selloff today is because of the European bank failures. I think the euro is also dropping like a rock, at least against the dollar.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A co-worker and I once - at the end of a long hard day - sat down and read the instructions that came with the spare mouse balls. About how many mouse balls were in the package. The the mouse was only supposed to have one ball. And how to replace a mouse ball.
Hilarity - or possibly hysteria - ensued.

The NYTimes is featuring Live Blogging Amid Panic -- which strikes me as a little too close to The Financial Apocalypse Watch and Post.

Mice today just don't have the balls their ancestors had.

My mouse doesn't even have any balls. Which probably explains the shiny red light.
