| Today's Joke: 01-22-00 Recently, while I was watching a rerun of Seinfeld at 11pm after a long day in the office, I saw an unusual commercial which made me look twice. It was a commercial for an Interactive Microsoft doll. At first I thought this was a joke, but soon came to realize that in its attempt to keep 4th quarter earning high, and its stock price soaring, it had to diversify. I tried to guess whether Microsoft was licensing the product or actually making it. So I did some research and found out the following in my pursuit of the truth. My conclusion was that the product was conceived and produced in Redmond at Microsoft's headquarters. It is based on the following data. * The batteries turned out to be non-standard. Only Microsoft batteries work with the doll and Duracell has already filed suit. * A secretive anti-Furby rumor campaign has been going on for the past few months. * The doll speaks quite eloquently, walks quickly - but then crashes into the wall -- repeatedly -- for no apparent reason. * While the doll generally has a nice interactive manner, she seems to get rather rude when in the presence of the lawyer dolls and government dolls, of which she has said "Oh, they are just recyclable plastic" AND THE MOST COMPELLING REASON * A report from the Wall Street Journal has learned that "Ken" has received a large number of Microsoft stock options and has reportedly been shying away from Barbie.
