Found a cool page on wired (http://blog.wired.com/sixwords/2006/10/design_chip_kid_1.html) this morning. Its essentially a list of 6 word stories by 33 famous writers and lillustrated by 5 designers (maybe famous). I found them quite amusing, maybe you'll be amused too....:mellow:

Heres a couple or two that I liked:

"Failed SAT, Lost Scholarship. Invented rocket" - William Shatner
"Vacuum collision. Orbits diverge. Farewell, love" - David Brin
"Gown removed carefully. Head, less so." - Joss Whedon
"Epitaph: Foolish humans never escaped Earth" - Vernor Vinge
"We kissed. She melted. Mop please"
"Its behind you! Hurry before it..."
"Im your future child. Don't cry"
"Im dead I've missed you. Kiss?" - Neil Gaiman
"The baby's blood type? Human, mostly" - Orson Scott Card
"Kirby had never eaten toes before" - Kevin Smith
"Husband, transgenic mistress; wife: 'You cow!'" - Paul Di Filippo
"Don't marry her. Buy a house" - Stephen A. Donaldson
"Time machine reaches future!!!...nobody there..." - Harry Harrison
"With bloody hands I say goodbye" - Frank Miller
"Internet wakes up? Ridicu - no carrier" - Charles Stross

"Meh. That will be enough eh?" - skelstar
