Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Ah, so that ethics thing that every Tech employee must complete by the end of March is finally online. Heh, they said it takes only about 15 minutes to complete, but I wanna say its closer to half an hour.

So I was flicking through the channels and saw the cartoon network teaser for the next Clone Wars ep featuring "Cad Bane", some new supposedly "kewl" bounty hunter character. (And isn't that confusing considering there's that Darth Bane guy in the Expanded Universe) Of course, before I saw the text and just saw the face, at first I thought, are they making a cartoon based on that old Chakan: the Forever Man video game?! Because they look totally similar, same outfit, same kinda face. Heh, the creators say he's based off of Lee Van Cleef's spaghetti western gunslinger characters, but I ended up thinking of Ron Van Clief. But hey, I think its a more forgivable mix up than Rip Taylor and Rip Torn, because at least the former set are both in action type movies, albeit Lee in Westerns (he's supposedly also the inspiration for Metal Gear Solid's Revolver Ocelot?) and Ron in martial arts movies.

It actually only takes about 1min. Just skip all the stupid reading and answer the questions. There are only two, and the answer is usually pretty obvious, but even if it's not, it won't let you go on until you select the right one. And the stupidest part is that it only counts your eventual right answer, so you can't really fail the test.

Are you sure you did it all? There's that 15 question assessment all the way at the end that you have to get above 80% on.

Maybe ours is different from yours. Ours was only two questions. I guess it would make cents if it was relevant to the department.

It was not at all relevant to our department, nothing but totally generic stuff. Apparently, sexual harassment, nepotism, and theft are considered unethical these days.
