"If only I can get the technology right, I'll be able to capture the merry japes of the Keystone Kops . . . without the need for humans . . . Mwaahahahaaahaaa".

Sound like any tool pitches you've heard recently?

That does sound eerily familiar to a few vendor sales pitches . . . and a pie throwing machine probably makes a good metaphor for any enterprise-class solution that ignores data quality . . . but, then again, I also thought the picture was a funny precursor to April Fools' Day . . . Mwaahahahaaahaaa!

Safety first. Good to see personal protective equipment in use.

However, the engineer in me is sizing up the arm and piston on it - that pie is going to be going places!

And it IS just like some enterprise software - HUGE amounts of power when perhaps a bit of finesse would have been better. You can see big dents on the arm from where it has smashed into things, and in the end, all you get is pie on your face.

Perfect.
