Job's Prayer

by Sylvano Lucchetti - 2009-09-28 17:05:00

I wrote the following ditty as a blog comment back in August, in response to John Birmingham's post, From iPhone to iCarus?.

Job's Prayer


Our Jobs,
who art in America,
hallowed be thy brain,
thy Apple Stores come,
my purchases be done,
in Sydney,
as it is in D'America.

Give us this day our daily tune,
and forgive us our bit torrents,
as we forgive those who pirate our own stuff.

And lead us not into fatal hubris,
but deliver us from poor designs.

For the marketplace, the goodwill and my wallet are yours, now and forever.

Amen.

Did You Know?

Avocados make you fertile

You will be discreetly checking around to see if anyone is watching the next time you are feeling for the ripeness of an avocado at the local fruit shop.

You see, knowing that the fruit being caressed in your cupped hand is named with the Nahuatl word for testicle, āhuacatl, will do that.

The Aztecs viewed the avocado as a fertility fruit that would stimulate the sexual dimension of the person consuming it. Powerful stuff.

So I do look forward to the day when the marketing departments of the avocado industry can proudly extol the true benefits of this fruit and empower the people to publicly display their appreciation of the shape, weight and feel of the avocado!
