Dear Mike and Gary,

Happy 29th birthday!

This is a site where you two can display your genius for the rest of the world. Yes, this can include photos of flipped cars and everything. Perhaps these might also be good topics for this web page:

"15 lb. dumbbell bowling" in the GMI dorm rooms. A perfect "strike" through the window and down three floors.

Mike riding his bright orange Steelcase office chair down Dupont street and through a red light.

Hitching up the sea-doo trailer to the Saturn, then tying the living room chair on top of that. Taking turns riding around Flint late at night in the chair.

Mike lighting the kitchen stove on fire while trying to melt the wax in his candle, so he can pour it out and make another one. Unfortunately, the glass candle holder was not Óstovetop safeÓ.

Dropping the TV off the roof.

"Chair racing" down the driveway.

Using the kitchen stove to recreate the "Mobil 1" TV commercial. Discovering that Mobil 1 is very flammable when hot.

Attempting to wrap an old golf club around a telephone pole. Nearly killing a pedestrian instead.

Enjoy

-Liz

Proof that Windows is screwed:
The next version of Microsoft Windows is going to be called (drum roll please)...

Windows XP

Need I say more?

I guess that I will have to buy one when they come out with version XP-9. At least then there will be a reason for my computer to crash.

We should get royalties on every copy sold :)

Like I said, we should start an idea company. We come up with all the good ideas about 2 years before someone else implements them. I bet we could make a fortune.

You know what is going to happen now...In two years, someone else will start a big idea company.

-Gary

Do we want to wait and see?
==
No, but I have no idea how to go about starting an idea company. (Now that I think about it, that is pretty funny)

-Gary
==
Me neither. That is your homework. Come up with some ideas. What about a brainstorming company that people would hire when they needed to solve a problem. We would come in and figure out a creative solution for some problem and charge them $1000 per hour or something like that.
==
That's a good idea - I think it's called consulting :) So, how do we convince people to pay us $1000/hr?

How about www.WeAreSoSmart.com? It's available.
