Ape Con Myth is all for acronyms, but online it is easy to take them too far.

Yes, Automated Production Equipment does equal A.P.E., but even as “The World Leader in Surface Mount Repair Equipment”,  this is not cutting it for Ape.com…

But at least A.P.E. is supposedly international and put what looks like an ape under the palm tree in their logo.  All Phase Electrical Systems, on the other hand, is an electrical contracting outfit only serving southern California.  Unless the owner is big into evolution and thought he was covering a nod to apes by putting his picture on the site, there’s no justification for Apes.com looking like this:

That they paid $350,000 for it and took down colour.com while they were at it hints at some real lunacy.
That they got $41M in funding points to a complete breakdown of the system.  And if that isn’t enough waste for you, think of all the people who are going to use it (for a short time).

You aren’t going to find the digits of pi through that site.

But you can find them here.  Celebrate the day by trying to find your phone number or date of birth in the first 1,000,000 digits of pi!
