Honestly, what's going on here?
I've set it up as I like now, but could someone explain the rationale behind the decision of the good people behind evolution to have a contacts category called 'weather: partly cloudy'
Is it some sort of joke? It always makes me smile, but the nagging rationalist in me needs to know: why is it there! And all the other weather ones? Sometimes I do feel like putting a contact from my address book under the category 'weather: thunderstorms. Like my boss maybe.
?

Yep... have all the weather categories listed as contact categories. I wouldn't say it's a bug, and can't see how it could possibly be a feature (let me know if I'm missing something here!)... I'd stick with the psychedelic drugs scenario and the developers doing it for a huge giggle while tripping!

Look, it can't be a bug. Someone actually sat at a keyboard and typed those categories in. I demand to know why!

I thought this thread was going to be about Terrance McKenna and his book: Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge - A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution
