# A Big Mistake

wew. Have a few spare minutes. So I started reading [Chris Brumme's](http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/cbrumme/) Latest post about AppDomains.

It was a mistake. It was a hell of an interesting post, but the mistake was reading it on the job. It contains **5299 words**. The last eleven of them are:

Heh. I'm not sure I can continue working for the rest of the day, as my head will simply burst. The guy writes a book chapter for a post. Gotta love that kind of dedication..
