Waterfall charts in Business Objects Webi

I spent a few hours fighting with Business Objects yesterday, trying to make a waterfall chart.

Stupidity and laziness

Today, I'm going to quote Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord on laziness and stupidity, from Wikipedia. I'm not quite sure why I ended up reading this on a page about Hanlon's Razor, but it's just the thing for me:

I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!
