uncia: best practice makes perfect

Now that I've found out what brand I am, I can't wait to capitalize on the franchising. (Why is captalize a Z, but franchising an S?) If I could only work up the will and gall to get a spurious patent on the no-mustache, chin-only goatee combined with a dramatically receding hairline, and enforce it, I'd be a gazillionaire. No-one is paying attention to prior-art, or the clearly defined differences between trademark, patent, and copyright anymore, so I can sue all the other game development art directors!

What brand are you? (via Diepunyhumans)

( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
