Humor Links 8.1.06

By Andrea Weckerle • August 1, 2006

130 Ways to Put Humour to Work (Mike Kerr). "Research shows that gerbils loose brain cells when kept in stark, grey, cubicle-like environments…"
The 12 Types of Med Students (The Underwear Drawer). For anyone from a medical family or in the profession, this’ll ring true (be sure to scroll all the way to the right to see all twelve).
The Anonymous Lawyer Blook (Blawg Review, 7.25.06). Post about Jeremy Blachman’s new "blook" that’s taken the legal community by storm.
Court Orders Counsel To Go To Lunch, regarding Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Acceptance of Lunch Invitation (Golden Practices, 7.26.06). Sadly, this appears to be real.
Whose MKTG Is It Anyway? (Todd And — The Power To Connect, 7.27.06). Todd, who spent 14 years as a stand-up comic, offers "some improv rules that can be applied to the business world, especially marketing and PR." This is good, practical stuff and definitely worth the read.
IPoor Status: We are taking pre-orders (Design Sojourn, 7.28.06, via Ernie the Attorney). Fashionable $15 t-shirt when you’re too poor to afford an iPod.
The Dangers of Second Life (planet sab, 7.29.06). Sebastian Keil’s avatar gets his rump stuck in Better Desirable Communications Cafe’s SL booth.
The Idea Grove’s First Music Video: "Venus" (Media Orchard, 7.30.06). Scott & Cathy Baradell shaking it (love the green platform shoes).

Andrea Weckerle writes and speaks about online communications, social and cultural developments, environmental issues, and other subjects.
