Microsoft Mystery

Things that make you go "hmmmmmm..."

Whenever I want coffee around here, from early morning to late at night (OK, not REAL late... I haven't had to pull one of those -- yet), it flows from the little red spigot into my cup. The coffee maker is NEVER without coffee! NEVER. This interesting tidbit prompted me to actually follow the hoses and pipes to explore whether -- could it be? -- coffee is continuously piped in to all Microsoft java machines from some secret central campus coffee cavern. As far as I can tell, it just flows continuously from the other side of the wall in an effort to keep workers always caffeinated, always motivated, always thinking, always WORKING.

Yawn.
