This one looks a little bigger than I'd like to take camping with me.

That's nothin'.
My black Labrador pup eats poop straight, no processing at all.

 Dogs are such good recyclers.
I'm guessing it's not a billionaire though?

Could be. Is its name Dogbert, by any chance?

How's that; two consecutive threads that mention Black Labs!

Oh, no. Coprophagia[^]. Time to the put the lab down I think.
Yes, I'm kidding. But it is a nasty habit that the Vets never have the answer to. "OH, i think the dog is missing something in its diet." Oh really...
Never can figure it out. Just stop it puppy!

Now that is hilarious!

Heheh you beat me to it; I was going to make some snide comment about all of us slurping down years of the same old undocumented cobbled-together WinSDK API code turds since 3.11 Windows for Workgroups right through to 8.1

... and dogs (especially Labs) as I can attest to because of being caught twice in the past few days.

All/any of the above.
Although my current over-zealous bundle of fun is black. She has a tendency to try to haul sticks (logs) too large for a St Bernard, one of which she caught me with when turning her head as she ran past.
This morning she levitated on to the bed as I was waking up, bringing me to a full consciousness and sick feeling that only a well timed blow to the nuts can cause.
Not sure about the Meth Lab pic though - the dog still has it's teeth!

Yeah...you keep hoping they are going to grow outta that.
One place I worked, we had dogs roaming around teh office. One of them was a Flatcoat/Collie cross called Chloe and she was lethal with her tail! 
She smacked it into everything - happy sacks, walls, doors, desks, computers - the end was forever splitting open from the impacts and spraying blood round as well.

That'd be the Flatty in her. Like all Retrievers their brains only start developing at about 3 (if you're lucky).
Our first Lab (a huge yellow called Max) would always give us notice of mischief by the whack, whack, whack of his tail. To this day a thumping sound elicits a subconscious "Max, what are you doing?".

Nice, but to me it looks like an evil head that's laughing.

42 Questions, I passed with a 976 (needed 700 to pass).
I need to do 70-462 and 70-463 to get my MCSA cert. I still think certs are pointless, though.

Once you have a job then I agree. Experience outweighs any other issues when looking for a job. If you are just starting out though I think they are very useful to help show an employer that you know what you're doing.
However, businesses benefit from having a certain number of certified employees. It is one of the ways a company can earn points towards becoming a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I worked for a company that maintained a staff of "certified" ghost developers in India (they didn't do any work for us, they were simply paid to be on the company's roster), just so the company could retain it's "Certified Partner" status.
It's bogus, and crts don't mean sh|t.
If you interview with me, bring a laptop with some code you actually wrote (applicable to the position being sought), and be prepared to explain/discuss it in detail.

Yeah, that's a good way to do interviews. I tend not to do that though, because a lot of people have confidentiality agreements that prevent them from sharing code.
I've interviewed enough people to be able to tell the people who BS and the ones who really get it....
I've also found even that education is not a good tell of how good a developer they are. In fact, the best one I ever worked with, he didn't have a college degree at all, only a HS diploma. But, he had tons of experience, and just "got it". And once he was in, he was everything I thought he was a developer.
On the flipside, I worked with another guy that had a MSCS, and was the biggest idiot ever (I didn't hire him, he was already there when I started). I could see from just talking to him that he didn't get it. As an example, he thought he should use C macros instead of functions, because they were "cool". Nevermind the fact that they were buggy as hell, and got chucked as soon as he left.

And macros can't be debugged (in the debugger).
