We fired the art department and replaced them with an orb. It hovers about four feet off the ground and follows us around the office. Sometimes it feels like it's waiting for something. Sometimes it follows you home. Jim says it told him to dig into the dirt. It will save the company twelve dollars.

Las Vegas saw this tweet and thought "yes a giant ominous sphere in the middle of the city is a great idea.. but what if we need someway to advertise on it"

That orb is going places. If the orb says dig, you dig. In a few years it'll be in a corner office, and you want that orb to remember you well.

We shall consult the orb. The orb knows all.

The orb says you are a horrible person. We weren't even testing for that.

The orb has spoken. The orb is correct.

The orb says you are, somehow, rounder then it.
