Totally beside the point, but is it just me or is that article written really strangely? Overall it has a kinda high school newspaper vibe, but in particular the attempts at humor are both awkward and numerous.
The information itself is good, though, so thank you for sharing!
Forbes has fell off in recent times so it's not surprising the article feels that way
