Mug Quote of the Week:
How to fly:
Throw yourself at the ground.
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.”
Question of the Week:
Was there a time you disagreed with an editors' recommendation, and are you glad you did?
