Norman decided not to go to the break room for lunch today because someone had reheated fish for lunch in the microwave, and the smell was terrible. Instead, he retrieved his lunch sack from the third shelf of the refrigerator, and went back to his desk.
Careful not to get any crumbs into his keyboard, Norman decided to look at the internet while he ate. He searched on the Google web page for an article letting him know when the new season of CSI New Orleans was going to start. He had heard a nasty rumor in the break room last week that the starting time might change from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and if it were true, he might have to change his nightly routine to accommodate it.
In the recommended search results, he quickly found an article talking about the return - and it was coming back at 9:00 PM. Nothing to worry about there!
Reading to the end of the article, there were a set of small pictures, and a number of links to other articles. One said, "You think you are a true fan of CSI, but I bet you don't know this!". Another said, "Your cat may be in danger, click here to find out why!" Another said, "If you come from Springfield you'd better know this!" Norman DID come from Springfield!
The final straw was a banner ad that ran beside the pictures. It showed a hooded sweatshirt (which he would never have worn) that said, "It's a Norman thing, you couldn't understand".
Norman shut down the browser by clicking the little red X in the top corner of the screen. Norman couldn't understand how they knew so much about him, but he frankly wasn't comfortable about it.
He decided that he'd stick to the Television listings in the paper, and eat his lunch in the break room from now on - unless someone was cooking microwave popcorn which gave him headaches.
