Jack didn't realize his mistake until he'd chopped through the beanstalk.

The giant was directly above his farm.

And falling. Fast.

Gold coins couldn't buy his way out of this one.

The goose's goose was cooked.

And the magic harp began to play a mournful dirge as the shadows grew darker and darker.

He giant was falling face-down, and when he saw the look on Jack's face, he roared with laughter.

“FEE FIE FO FUM!” was the last thing the giant shouted, and the last thing Jack heard.

Jack's wife, asleep, didn't feel a thing.

“Magic beans,” she mumbled.

Britney Mason asks:

Has Podcasting jumped the shark? Adam Curry has not done a show since July 9. Most podcasters I know aren't putting out content as often.

Possible reasons:
- Podcamp Boston preparations
- PME preparations
- Summer vacations for their kids
- They'd rather spend their time getting paid to consult about podcasting or provide podcast services than actually podcast
- They suck, they realize it, and they're getting out

I can't wait until the death of "X will be the death of Y!" and "Has Z jumped the shark?" or when that trend finally jumps the shark.
