Quote of the day, from the above:
“I can build a motorcycle, I can fly a model airplane, I can throw
somebody out of a bar, I can wrestle a pig and I can program a

So that got me thinking: how does the pig accept such an award?
No, it's not been a slow work day, I just needed a five-minute break. :)
