Oops – my blog title might have provided a spoiler to the punchline for the below video. Never mind, it is only a minute and a half long, so the there is not much time to build up suspense anyway. However, please watch the video. If you have a blog, consider embedding it; if you are an active commenter, consider participating in the generated conversation on Blog Action Day.
