Rational Survivability

As a reprise to the cartoon published earlier today, here’s all you ever need to know about SOA; well, a few things actually.  The entire list is here. 

• SOA is the only thing Chuck Norris can’t kill.
• SOA invented the internet, and the internet was invented for SOA.
• SOA is not complex. You are just dumb.
• In the last year, SOA increased Turkey’s GDP by a factor of 10.
• One person successfully described SOA completely, and immediately died.
• Another person successfully described SOA completely, and was immediately outsourced.
• Larry Ellison once died in a terrible accident, but was quickly
  given SOA. He came back to life, built a multibillion dollar software
  company, and now flies fighter jets.
• Guns don’t kill people, the SOA WS-* stack kills people.
• SOA can write and compile itself.
• SOA is an anagram for OSA, which means female bear in spanish. It
  is a well-known fact in the spanish-speaking world that female bears
  are able to model business processes and optimize reusable IT assets
  better than any other hibernating animal.
• SOA is so great 10 facts aren’t enough.
• SOA is the mistress to all CIOs.
• SOA is just one letter away from SOB. On purpose.
• If a tree falls in the forest, SOA knows about it.
• If you google ‘SAP’ and ‘Chuck Norris’, the top site is SOA Facts.
• SOA is being used in the developing world to solve hunger. Entire populations will be fed on future business value.
