My boss did a blog post on how people don't read what they "write"
sometimes:
* Who Represents?, a database for agencies to the rich and famous:
www.whorepresents.com <http://www.whorepresents.com>
* Experts Exchange, a knowledge base for programmers:
www.expertsexchange.com <http://www.expertsexchange.com>
* Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island:
www.penisland.net <http://www.penisland.net>
* Mole Station Native Nursery:

I assume Ross, you have read that great little book by Lynne Truss
entitled "Eats Shoots and Leaves"? Covers punctuation and grammar in
depth but is easily read and very amusing.
The title (for those that don't know it) comes from the story of the
Panda that walked into a bar, ordered a drink, downed it, took out a
pistol and fired three shots into the air before turning around and
starting to walk out of the bar.
The barman said "Hey - who the hell are you doing that?"
The Panda replied - "I'm a Panda."
"What's a Panda?" asked the bartender.
"Look it up in your dictionary" replied the Panda.
The barman duly did and there was the entry - "Panda - a large
bear-like creature native of China that eats, shoots, and leaves"
Just in case anyone is puzzled - and I've come across a few that are
when confronted with that - of course it should have read -
"Panda - a large bear-like creature native of China that eats shoots
and leaves"
Punctuation makes all the difference!
Have a good weekend folks!
