“Evolution is like a box of baboons, you never design what your gonna implement.” That almost sounds like it could mean something, doesn’t it?
I’ve got a script running on my blog named “Wisdom of the Drunken Sages” (it’s one of mine). It takes the structure of a familiar sentence (like the Forrest Gump quote used in this example), and plugs in different words. It caught my attention with the sentence above a minute ago.
So I’m imagining a bunch of baboons in a box doing their evolutionary thing (I’m not visualizing in detail, mind you!) Maybe you threw them in the box thinking that survival of fittest would yield a super baboon. But instead a random mutation turns out a saber-tooth butterfly.
Just like many computer programming projects, what you designed and what you implemented are two totally different beasts.

For a measly two bucks, I don’t know that it necessarily SHOULD, but it’s a good idea, and you’ll be getting resale rights…soon.
There are going to be some rules for HOW you can resell it, so DON’T START YET. For now, I’ll give you a hint — you’ll have the opportunity to earn commissions on sales other products when you resell “WotDS”.
Stay tuned.

Okay, I’ve emailed all buyers with resale rights details. Here I’ll just say that all buyers get master resale rights.
