This one's been around for a while but when we first found it there was lively discussion during our Wednesday AM meetings about starting one up for real.

I found this on Stumbleupon a few weeks ago, sent it to a friend but couldn't find any record of it in my histories, so had to hunt it down through Google. The 'testimonials' are great, and something of a giveaway.
