Scott adems, being one of the most notable people in mensa, is smart. Of course, if you read the comic dilbert, you know that like most people in mensa, scoot adams is a very sad, cynical, sarcastic person.

It's a bad design because a briefcase with crumple zones would be terrifible for storing important documents in

your neighbourhood planning committee holds an endless series of five hour meetings where nothing is decided because the tanner, the homeless addict squatting in your greenhouse, the unmedicated mentally ill neighbour with 900 cats and the obese weirdo who doesn't even live nearby but spends his days slowly driving around the children's playground in a windowless van and who shows up to the meeting with two handguns tucked into his sweatpants spend the whole time shrieking "be excellent to one another" at each other.

quote:

I should tell you that I am not writing an animated movie. What I have in mind is a substantial “reimagining” of Dilbert. It won’t be a bunch of actors sitting in cubicles and complaining about work. I’m not writing the sequel to Office Space. If the movie ever gets made it will be a re-launch of Dilbert for a younger generation. And I’m aiming for it to be a big-budget “tent pole” feature, as they say in Hollywood. Tent poles are a studio’s big feature films that make all of the money.
