Apparently these are also green protesters. Darwin and biologists say that Mother Nature hates straight lines. Except for these little creatures that are designing straight lines and right angled corners. Go figure!
This reminds me of a story allegedly from the middle ages. A man was walking by a quarry and he saw two other men laboring away.
He asked the first man, “What are you doing?” and the man responded “Chipping away at a rock.”
He asked the second man, “What are you doing?” and he responded, “Building a cathedral.”
I’ve found this anecdote to be important when I was a manager of teams. If you can show people why their little piece is important in the big scheme, then they feel important too.

Do you know why the spider crossed the road?
It so it could get to a new Web-Site.

I think it may be other things besides the bad jokes that they hate you for…

Son of a gun. The little bug in on the inner-net and he’s likely to catch some poor thing and suck them dry. First class hacker, there.

I always liked the octangular look! They’re on line with “on the web” podcasts!

No.. we hate you because you don’t take down your web when you’re done with it.

They are the original web designers. Nothing like eating a good fly, ask any motorcyclist.
