We had a pretty good laugh at the thought of blinking text, and talked about blinking this and that and how absurd the whole thing would be. The evening progressed pretty normally from there, with a fair amount more drinking and me meeting the girl who would later become my first wife.
Invent <blink> and meet the wife in one day. I'm pretty sure this qualifies for evil genius...

- startupsdesigns 15y ago:) that was really funny.
- prawn 15y agoDidn't read the article, but did it say "first and only"? ;)
- function_seven 15y agoIt did not. Nobody refers to their current wife as "my first wife." If he was still married to her, it would simply be "my wife"
- prawn 15y agoThey may do if they have multiple wives, right? In which case, from the perspective of the husband, it might not have been a bad night all around which was my (poorly made) point.
- jonp 15y agoOne (admittedly rare) counterexample is the late Sir Clement Freud: "We remain together. I call her 'my first wife' to keep her on her toes." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/5165998/Sir-Clement-Freud-I-call-her-my-first-wife-to-keep-her-on-her-toes.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/5165998/Sir-Clement-Freud...
