Q1 The Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. has a basketball court on the fifth floor. The actual courtroom is on the second floor. This makes the basketball court the “Highest Court in the Land” that’s not my joke. Actually it’s not a joke at all…they actually call it that…seriously, that’s what they call it. Also, I would pay lots of money to watch Ruth Bader-Ginsberg dunk on Stephen Breyer.

Can we take a second to talk about the Sandra Bullock opus The Net? In the movie she orders a pizza from Pizza.net. In 2013 the actual domain name Pizza.net sold for about $150K. So here is my question. It’s been almost thirty years since the movie…why can’t I order a pizza from Pizza.net?…and don’t give me any lip about the damn Domino’s pizza tracker. Every time someone uses that thing it becomes one step closer to Skynet.
