If you've never tried to subscribe to an rss feed

but you're sometimes deadly bored at work - waiting for something (if you're a nerd: compiling, waiting for cvs locks - if you are a normal person: ... oh hell ... I really have no idea) then maybe this is for you :

http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/

is a feed that will send you random funny quotes of stuff people have said in NY.

Bite sized funny read that is perfect for that spare extra minute.

Example:

"How the Projects Got Gentrified

Yuppie girl: Sometimes I feel like it would be fun to live in the projects.
Yuppie guy: Uh, why?
Yuppie girl: Everybody knows each other -- it's like summer camp.
Yuppie guy: But they shoot each other.
Yuppie girl: Yeah -- summer camp, but with guns.

But if you asked me I'd just say to just go to the web page and click the orange square in the address field (where you type the web page address) and just say ok as much as you can.
