Today's joke

There was a short article today on page 26 of the
London Evening Standard. The headline reports
“Shoreditch ‘to rival Silicon
Valley’.
London’s Shoreditch has some things going for it. Having worked in Silicon Valley for close to a decade back in the 1980s I have a sense what the Valley is like. Forget my personal views of Shoreditch vs. Silicon Valley. Number matter. Silicon Valley has lots of flat top building that have hundreds of people and some companies have campuses with thousands on site.
The article mentioned how the transformation is centered one building, “a building that will house about 140 people developing small Internet start-up firms.”
How can a building with 140 people rival Silicon Valley? Mark Prigg, the Evening Standard Technology Editor, must have been paid to fill some blank space. Like writing a non-starter of an article will wish something into being because someone announced a building might have some startup hopefuls.
