Geeks. You gotta love em.
As a geek, I am aware of the basic food groups: Caffeine, sugar, Cheeto's, and caffeine. Additionally, we geeks recognize that the office is a place of play. Hence miniature trebuchets to hurl objects over cubicle walls to sack our rivals, and things like those.

The Internet is a tool for communication that only a decade ago was still in the realm of science fiction. Today it is science fact, and is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds, with no end in sight.
