Question: Can you link developing an ebay clone to first degree murder?
Today, in the developer room, we managed to do it in about 10 minutes.
Here's how it happened:

Today, in the developer room, we managed to do it in about 10 minutes.
Here's how it happened:
- We were talking about a hypothetical ebay like system to scalp vacation trips that you may have already purchased.
- It came up that scalping tickets was rampant on ebay, and some states might legalize it.
- A debate ensued over whether scalping tickets should be allowed. Somehow it boiled down to a free market pro-scalping system vs an anti-scalping Karl-fest
- The anti-scalping bunch equated the act with buying up domain names with the intention of swindling money from a big corporation.
- Will said that intention doesn't matter, only trademarks do.
- Elaborate scenarios about revenge, friendship, domain names, love, money, and truth were given.
- Turns out, intention is part of first degree murder. So one could say that, in some cases, intention DOES matter.
- Conversation dissolves back into actual work.

Will should consider a desk position that does not put his back to the room.

I can’t believe I was the only person singled out by name. You better watch out…

I never said that... I said scalping tickets is bad, and we should all have government jobs, all good and services should be provided for us, and the internet is a waste of time, and I want to move to China.

I can link them in one step: I would intentionally murder Will for scalped Red Sox tickets next to the home dugout.
