Best "Out of Office" Automatic Replies

1. I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. I may be a little moody so be prepared.


2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.


3. Sorry to have missed you, but I am at the doctor's having my brain removed so I can be promoted to our management team.


4. I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from vacation on 4/18. Please be patient, and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.


5. Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first 10 words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.


6. The e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again.

( The beauty of this is that when you return, you can see how many individuals did this over and over.)


7. Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system.
You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.


8. Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.


9. I've run away to join a different circus.


10. I will be out of the office for the next 2 weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as " Sharon " instead of "Steve".

Biggest Mac mouse in the world

Forget Texas, everything is bigger in China. This Apple iMac USB hockey puck mouse covers some 2,000 square metres. So where, you might ask, is the iMac that goes with it?

Okay, it's not a mouse, it's the National Centre for the Performing Arts, but Steve Jobs should get a billboard up on that thing real quick.

Thanks to Danish blogger Kim Rathcke at kinablog.dk who spotted it.

That'll do nicely

A t-shirt that uses the advertising of one giant corporate to rip the p*** out of another has got to be worth wearing.
