Ben Forta posted some stats about the Scorpio World Tour so far. Ben Nadel then summarized it all into photo of Ben I thought summed it up pretty nicely:

Were the rubber chickens handed out to programmers who broke the build? Only 2?! That's pretty good discipline on you guys' part.
Interesting stuff Damon!

@Sammy
The rubber chicken is the handed out to the enigneer to breaks the build, and there have been plenty of broken builds, make no mistake! That engineer must diplay the rubber chicken until someone else breaks the build. The "build" page always displays who that is (selection, like our builds, is automated).

That's good to hear.

When does that man sleep?
