Quote for the day thanks to Daily Maverick

I subscribe to 3 or 4 email newsletters: The Daily Maverick’s First Thing, TechCentral, Missing Link’s Preso Rock Gods and maybe one other. The first three are worth getting. They have great content, are not spammy and are entertaining. This morning First Thing had the following gem which is typical of the humor I have become accustomed to:

Russia said on Thursday it expects the debris from its failed probe to Mars to land on earth on either Sunday or Monday, but said it was unsure of the precise location. Considering the probe couldn’t find Mars, this is hardly a huge surprise.

If you want a great overview of the news first thing in the morning, subscribe to First Thing. You won’t be sorry (well, if you are you can just unsubscribe).
