I don’t know why I find this so funny, but I do. Plus, I want it.

• Derek: Seen these? (Adobe CS4 Pillows http://www.mysuitestuff.com/shop.html)
• Shawn: i saw those and I think they are hilarious
• Shawn: it would be so strange to have your pillows become obsolete though.
• Derek: yeah and then be charged $1800 to upgrade
• Shawn: even worse – you buy the pillows and then your couch isn’t fast enough to hold them so you have to buy a whole new couch.
• Derek: and then the neighbors come over and you’re like sit on my new couch and pillows and they’re all like, “sorry, we’re still on Pillow.v2 We’re not compatible.”
• Shawn: EXACTLY – then your photoshop pillow keeps freaking out and you get stuck halfway between the couch and the fridge on a dang beachball.

At work, we have an employee newsletter. Recently, the editor changed, and the new one has been changing things up a bit. She has been writing a story each week about random stuff that happens in her life. Well, anyways, her husband had apparently told her this story:

Apparently, back in the day, NASA astronauts informed their R&D team that they needed a pen that could write upside down, so that when they are floating around in zero gravity, they can write easily from wherever they are. The R&D team spent big money creating prototypes, testing and retesting until they came up with the Zero Gravity Pen. It solved their need, and eventually it was even featured in a Seinfeld episode!

Now, here’s the funny part…when the Russians were faced with this same need from their astronauts, do you know what their solution was? Use a pencil.

The moral of this story? Sometimes the best answer is the simplest one. Don’t overthink every issue you face…sometimes the answer is just sitting on your desk.

Tee hee. The “BRA” for Brazil is amusing.

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles in a year.

Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind of makes you proud to be American!
