I love it when I see a vehicle with the bumper sticker, "My <dog breed> is smarter than your honor student". Don't these people realize that they are stating that they are dumber than their own dog?

While in college I had a bumper sticker that read "My kid beat up your honor student." The small town paper had one of those 'people call in and leave a message and the paper would just print whatever they said' columns (which were always good for a laugh!) so you can imagine my delight when someone named Darlene called in to say (something like--I no longer have the clip) "To the person driving around town whose kid beats up honors students, you should be ashamed of how you raised your kid."

duly shamed I replaced it with a bumper sticker that read, "Militant Agnostic: I don't know and you don't either."

So, I've been a member of LinkedIn for years.

Suddenly I find many emails in my "In box" telling me that many of my friends have "endorsed" me.

Logging into LinkedIn, I'm presented with the (default) option of endorsing many of my friends.

LinkedIn is now a publicly traded company. Playing in the same space as FaceBook and Google.

Hmmmm....

That and that their password hashes were hacked compels me to leave.

Those endorsements are quite lame - I've received endorsements from people who didn't work with me, so how would they know? Just because I am such a nice guy I obviously know e.g. computational biology? This devalues the whole idea.
