There is a special place in hell...
...for the person who just sent me an announcement about a grantwriting workshop for junior faculty and fellows.
In the form of an e-mail attachment.
Of a Powerpoint file.
There was nothing - nothing - in the attachment that couldn't have been conveyed in plain text in an e-mail. There weren't even any photographs or diagrams.
A special place in hell, I'm telling you.

And by the way, I love your icon. I took a photo of some electricity poles in Scotland that had the same image on their warning signs, only they said "Danger of Death - Keep Off".

Somewhere on the net there's a website that lets you design your own warning signs, with one of a large number of potentially amusing pictures and whatever text you like. That's where I made this one. Unfortunately, I don't remember where the site is.
My favorite warning sign ever was in Scotland. I took a picture on my honeymoon. It said "Warning: Changed Priorities Ahead." I still don't know what it means.

It means that they've changed who's required to yield, which might be fatally surprising if you think you have the right-of-way, and so does the other driver.

I dunno *what* it's supposed to convey, but they do seem quite serious about not going near those poles, don't they?
"Warning: Changed Priorities Ahead": hee.
