  • There's an old maxim that the funniest things have some core of truth to them.

    I thought your first example was funny, definitely, but especially funny because that's how many folks (me included) tend to work. My safari application sessions tend to last anywhere from a week to a couple months and include many tabs, windows, etc along the way (read interesting pages, and you'll find more interesting pages to read).
