- How would you change the way you live your life if you knew that you would receive $5,000,000 a year for the rest of your life?

This little post at a site called "The League of Ordinary Gentlemen" may describe a little of why I really do enjoy "The Office:"
"Of course, just like most of us don’t have the body types of movie-stars, most of us will also not be millionaires or celebrities. Most of us will only ever achieve moderate financial success. Most of us will only be content with our work. We will dislike many of our bosses and co-workers and will have to learn to live with them as best we can, just like we learn to live with our imperfect families. Are we all just under-achievers then?...Really, all the characters are in one way or another. I think the show is about hope more than it is about despair. It is about how we achieve something good in our lives beyond our work and career."
In this difficult economics times, it's nice to know there's one industry that's still growing: USA Today reports that "Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession's first 18 months — and that's before overtime pay and bonuses are counted."
I've seen videos like this before, but it never hurts to see it again. The American Museum of National History presents: The Universe, as we know it.
If you haven't been reading Ross Douthat regularly, you should. Here's his take on James Cameron's Avatar.
And this has been making the rounds recently, but if you haven't heard what English sounds like to foreign speakers, it's pretty amusing.
