<li><b>Post GIS in a language I don't understand</b> To celebrate the ubiquity of PostGIS, you can create Post GIS playing cards in a language\r
you don't understand. Here is what you do. Go to <a href="http://translate.google.com" target="_blank">http://translate.google.com</a> and paste in the URL to this page in the first text box (make sure it is set to English),\r
in the <b>To:</b> drop down, pick a language you do not know, but preferably you have friends that speak that language and can laugh at your grammar and pronounciation. In no time you'll be able to impress your friends living far far away with your command of their language.\r

<li><b>Post GIS in a language I do understand</b> Similar to the I don't understand game, except you pick a non-english language that you do understand. Enjoy many moments of laughter reading machine generated translations that are sorta accurate but often comical.\r
</li>\r
+ <li><b>The Scotch and Milk moment, the beginning of all brilliant ideas</b> You realize there are 66 pages each of which has 6 cards. You realize you are a grown-up and grown-ups look silly cutting out cards from paper unless if accompanied by a minor. You have a kid staring at you wondering why this day is so special. <em>Eureka Moment</em>\r
+ Pour yourself a glass of scotch and the kid a glass of milk and whip out the old scissors, glue, and print outs. \r
+ <b>Serving suggestion:</b> It might be a good idea to pour the Scotch in a clear glass so you don't hand out the wrong glass to the kids.\r
+ After the second helping, it might be prudent to stay away from the scissors.</li>\r
<li>Invent your own Post GIS card game. The possiblities are only limited by your imagination.</li>\r
