Funny?  It's a stretch.  I just thought it was applicable to the 
say "blog" enough thread... and it gets to replace "weblog" or 
whatever term is better suited.  

Besides, aren't "weblogs" what you parse with Urchin/WebTrends into 
happy reports that the marketing people like?  And isn't blog just 
an obscure logging format for high end computing performance 
visualization?
;-)

So, in my funny scenario... since I owe it now...

Scenario: Enough people say JavaScript and eventually they start to 
think that it -is- Java.  Java was created by Sun so that
means JavaScript was created by Sun as well.

It gets worse or funnier moving to the world of J2EE app servers...

Explaining that a JSP isn't written in JavaScript is something I 
have had to explain to clients. Seeing their face light up with 
glee at finally understanding...  Cost: $500/h

Explaining that JavaScript can be found inside a JSP page tends 
to tax the brains of others that just had the JSP is a JavaServer 
Page pep talk. Getting them to stop saying JavaScript Pages... 
Cost: $400/h

Getting them to stop saying JSP Pages... Cost: $300/h

Explaining that an imbedded JavaScript in the JSP can then feed
back to a service that gives real time information instead of 
reliance on parsing "weblogs" to track users.... Cost: priceless.
