@ceruleanspark Reminds me of when -- convinced that no one was reading my emails -- I added a crazy-detailed paragraph about how a particular project could be interrupted and delayed due to alien abduction, and how this could be made up for by the infusion of advanced alien technology. Anyway, sure enough, no one noticed. It also reminds me of when my manager back in the mid-90's wanted to upgrade all of our computers to Pentiums. He went into great detail of how Pentiums would be of benefit to us, how applications we used were being optimized for Pentiums, how it'd make us ready for Windows 95, etc. Unfortunately, his email was set to automatically correct spelling errors before sending, and "Pentium" was not a word it recognized. So, when he sent the email out to us, his manager, his manager's manager, and half of IT and Accounting, his email suddenly became how we could be so much more productive with a certain part of the male reproductive system. EVERYONE noticed that one.
