Apparently while Joe, our CEO, was at home last night eating dinner with his family and watching the ball game, he also managed to negotiate an aquisition deal with Yahoo. Trusted sources also indicate that I have X-ray vision, and that I can bend steel girders with my mind.

To be fair to anyone who was fooled, the last company I worked for did get aquired 6 months after I started, and the way I heard about it was basically by reading it in the paper the next morning. But even the San Jose Mercury wouldn't print a rumor this unsubstantiated. Wow, is the bay area tech industry ever like junior high school... "You would not believe who Yahoo hooked up with! Oh. My. GOD."
