I still think we need to remove this from the home page and embed it somewhere else in our enterprise - maybe on the Wiki or something like that. It doesn't exactly need to be on the front page, and frankly, as I stated before, kinda mucks with the layout.
If there are not an excessive amount of people clamoring to have this somewhat fictitious information on our homepage, can we please migrate it somewhere else?
