QOTD

"A mob in Toronto had to be cancelled because there was a danger that mobsters could be outnumbered by law enforcement and the media." (from a BBC story about "smart mobs", which appear to be neither--performance art I'll grant, but I don't see particular intelligence in gathering at a random place for no reason. Gathering and dispersing are normal human activities.)
