"Binge drinking describes an extended period of time (typically at least two days) during which a time a person repeatedly becomes intoxicated and gives up his or her usual activities and obligations in order to become intoxicated. It is the combination of prolonged use and the giving up of usual activities that forms the core of the clinical definition of binge drinking."
From the Journal of Studies on Alcohol (1998)
"(Presented to the Yahoo! Mail Team by the good people of Yahoo! in recognition of tremendous intellectual efforts put forth in order to defeat Gmail.
Not since the code breakers in Britain's Bletchley Park deciphered Germany's Enigma code during World War II has so much brainpower been focused on kicking an enemy's ass.
The Yahoo! Mail Team's bravery, courage, and cumulative intelligence will not soon be forgotten. )"

"I actually saw this exchange on CSPAN between kenneth Lay and a congressman (not verbatim).
"Did you know you had to report these earning in this way?"
"No I did not"
"Why not? That's just basic accounting"
"I didn't know that's all"
"When you went to school didn't they teach you that?"
"I guess not".
"What did you major in?"
"I have an MBA".
"YOu have an MBA and you didn't know a basic accounting principle? Where did you get you degree from?"
"Harward business school".
Man I fell down laughing. It wasn't a great advertisement for Harvard or capitlaism for that matter."
