The+Lighter+Side+of+ICT...LOL

Every now and then, we come across a really good quip, joke, recount, article, or experience that we just **//have to//** share with a like-minded friend, colleague, associate, or family member. One such article I spotted in the **February 2008, 'Next'** magazine (page 63), and immediately thought that many an ICT-dependent educator would relate to, and benefit from reading it. So, a wise and knowledgeable friend suggested I put it on the wiki, and I thought, 'what a great idea!'

But alas, I couldn't really see a page that lent itself to such material...and so, I made one. I'm sure you'll add your humorous anecdotes to this page and I look forward to reading them. **I have included an intro...buy or borrow the mag' to read the rest!** Happy holidays!
