Good morning, Freddie. SI has been off the air for a while now, was just wondering if it were back on. Actually don't have anything intelligent to say, think I'll go to bed. Nicholas is lying on my bed, reading to me from the latest "Dilbert" book, people wrote in mean pranks they played at work.

E.g., a worker wrote "Deceased" on all of a massive pile of correspondence in a co-worker's "In" box, and put them all in the "Out" box. It took more than a year to straighten out the repercussions.

E.g., on his last day of work, a worker came in early, and set up a practical joke on his supervisor. When the supervisor came in, and opened up a filing cabinet, it set off a chain reaction that resulted in moving a ceiling tile, above which was an enormous pile of styrofoam peanuts, in a funnel type device, the end of the funnel a footwide cardboard tube, and styrofoam peanuts rained down for ten minutes.

Here's another ~ hide a music chip that plays an annoying tune, or a pager, in the ceiling, loud enough to hear, but not loud enough to be easily located.

Is this how the rest of the country spends its day?

And, even more important, after being off SI for a full day, is this the best I can do?

Finally, the paper says 2/3 of all stocks down 30 percent or more from their high already. Only the NAZ 100 seems to be levitating.
