Comment of the Week:
@"South Sea Tulip" had the comment of the week this week in the thread, "On Losing and Failure" when he pointed out Peter Thiel's inspirational story of how the thing you think you want most in life might not be the best thing for you. His comment earned him 4 Silver Bananas.

Flake IS a magnificent pagan god
Solid list of new Certified Users the past week. Great to see the list of professionals growing on here.
We can all still act like baboons, but maybe we can also bring the level of discussion up a few levels...
First of all, thank you for the compliment Eddie. Not the first time a middle-aged man made me blush.
You should track top SB and MS getters for the week. Pretty sure I dominated both categories this time.
Add the ol jbone to the CF list.
Flake, exceptionally funny week!
