Still giggling at #23 and #24 - spend so much time trying to teach new folks that, yes, we DO want this to be done - the point is not long term job security. I'm your newest fan! This is terrific!

I love #38, I've seen it in action when I thought that nothing is worse than Excel for Project Management. Take a look at <a href='http://www.pmhut.com/project-management-101-2' rel="nofollow">Project Management 101</a> for similar (yet shorter) fun. An excellent post as usual Kareem.
