    My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly at home. I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening! She laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

      And Mark only smirked, because he didn't want to reveal that he was in fact listening... :doh:

          It's much more fun with three people: "Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A." "Destruct sequence 2, code 1-1 A-2B." "Destruct sequence 3, code 1 B-2B-3." And the captain gets the last word: "Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero."

              My brother's GF will start asking for recipes from the Anarchists Cookbook and the like anytime she sees one of those.

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                    Apple. Oh, I get it. The joke is all about the fact that Facebook, unlike Amazon and Apple, doesn't sell a listening device. And thus Zuckerberg is being made fun of because of it. At least that's my spin on it.
