Mistakes happen every day, but http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/biz2/0701/gallery.101dumbest_2007/index.html take the cake.
Now, go out and make a run with them.

Check out #30.
This is great. I can see the missions forming already.

What exactly was the problem with the kids' stripper pole? Plenty of children grow up with dreams of being star athletes, astronauts, doctors, and actors. Most of them will fail miserably because it takes a certain innate physical prowess to be a professional athlete, it takes a lot of big connections to be an astronaut, it takes a lot of dedication and money to be a doctor, and acting in Hollywood is just prostitution by another name.
Certainly, some little girls and boys say "I want to be an exotic dancer when I grow up." Some people will say that this is a more reasonable and achievable dream. Those people would be wrong because most of those children will grow up to be ugly.

I always wanted to be a bank robber. So judge me all you want, because you never became an astronaut.

Hah, shows how much you know. I'm posting this from the international space station.
Granted, I had to escape first, but they don't seem to think that spider monkeys can figure out how simple locks work. Silly humans.
Uh, gotta go, I hear the airlock cycling and need to get back to my cage before they suspect anything.

Dammit, who did you know???
I don't like http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/biz2/0701/gallery.101dumbest_2007/6.html, but The Dream here looks like it involves a penis on her face. Is there similar imagery in his other paintings that I have overlooked and therefore underappreciated his scribbles?
And now back to our regular scheduled topic...

OT: From the monkey reference, I´m guessing he´s part of Ancient History. Especially since he seems to be able to type. Why the space station hooks up typewriters to the internet is anyones guess.

Are you kidding? That's a natural progression from "can spiders build a web in space".

#50. A simple prankster run to sabotage a company's product line and force a recall.
Maybe #59, too. It has a decker run written all over. "No, guys, I swear, I didn't send that email! I was with my family all weekend." "So why do we have video of you at your terminal, a log of your security pass going through the office, and video of you hitting 'send' in the security video at the same moment the email has a time/date stamp?"

I'm joinking number 3 for a run, I think.
Very nice list, thanks for linking.

Mr. Johnson believes that an executive who plead guilty to embezzlement is covering up for his corps wrongdoings against it's own employees. The runner's are hired to infiltrate a particular office building and find evidence that the funds the vice-chairman 'stole' were really funding efforts to keep the workers in it's factories from unionizing.

It's probably true.
