Your daily dose of Teh Funny, courtesy of two friends of mine

kradical points us to this hilarious glossary of publishing terms as they are actually applied in the real-world business. Some sample entries:
ADVANCE COPY: A bound book that when opened by an editor will instantly expose an embarrassing mistake.
COPYRIGHT: A concept invented by lawyers as a hedge against unemployment.
DESIGNER: A specialist in illegibility. (Hey! I take exception to that as a designer; I pride myself on always designing legibly.)
FANTASY: An author's sales aspirations.
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS: The best place to hide from a congressman.

Andmadfilkentist has come up with an alleged copy of the e-mail correspondence from God to His programming team in the week before shipping Universe 1.0: "Rafe says he found a divide-by-zero error at a black hole. Make sure that gets fixed..." Almost as funny as "US Democracy Server Patch Day," from right after the recent Inaugural.

Editor: A writer with a day job. Yeah, that sounds about right.
