Mug Quote of the Week:

How to fly:

  1. Throw yourself at the ground.

  2. Miss.

Inspired by the following quote by Douglas Adams from Life, the Universe, and Everything:

“The Guide says there is an art to flying,” said Ford, “or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
— Douglas Adams

Question of the Week:

Was there a time you disagreed with an editors' recommendation, and are you glad you did?
