Prostate, pancreas, what's the difference.

Unless of course, a nurse sticks her finger up your arse to give you a pancreas massage

That site has had me in tears in the past. It's one of those things where they have to be genuine because no one could possibly make up something so perfect.

Now the skeptic in me would put money on a big announcement from Apple about the iPhone to deflect the market slump from his resignation

With a sharp selloff pummeling share prices throughout European banking sector this week, Apple's valuation is now strikingly equal to all 32 of the biggest euro zone banks combined...

For Apple, the accolade is just the latest in a growing string of financial related achievements. In addition to its back-and-forth battle with Exxon Mobile for the title of the most valuable company in the world, it was disclosed last month the the iPad maker's $76B in cash reserves recently surpassed the US government's own operating balance.

Are you sure about that second bit?

Yep, a really rational response from 'investors' there.

With all the healthcare money can buy he can probably eek out a few more years, but running a company probably shouldn't be his main focus...

What else is he going to do, Apple has been his focus for most of his life. Anyway, looks like the "new" guy has been quietly running things behind the scenes for the past few years anyway so shouldn't be a massive change of tack for the company.

Oh and by the way, surely it's "past" and not "passed"?
