Dave:
I saw this message last night; and so I found it amusing when, riding
the bus in to work this morning, I noticed one of the other
passengers reading the last issue of Fortune -- the cover of which is
a blatant parody of the old Charles Atlas sand-kicking ad. It even
includes the text "97-LB. WEAKLING," which I understand (from
Wikipedia) is a registered trademark of Charles Atlas, Ltd.
Of course I'm sure Fortune acquired explicit written permission from
C. A. Ltd. before doing this. Right?
