Our favorite Charlie Rose caption is...

Yesterday, we pointed out the story of Charlie Rose and his MacBook Air. Just in case you missed it, Charlie was walking along the Manhattan streets with his MacBook Air. He tripped and instinctively saved the Air... and kissed the pavement.

That night, he did his show with one heck of a shiner. We asked you, dear readers, to fill Charlie's thought balloon. After combing through more than 100 entries, we've chosen our favorite, which you can see above. Congratulations, Spudnuts!

The runner-ups to "iAche" include

""My Sudden Motion Sensor didn't park my head soon enough." by Geoff
"Boom!" by Michael L.
"It's cheaper to fix my face." by x.

Thanks, everyone (and get well soon, Charlie).

why is it that some articles on this site have the digg button and some don't?

The ones that have already been submitted to Digg have the digg button, and ones that have yet to be submitted do not.

The "it's cheaper to fix my face" reminds me of my high school stage crew experience. We were told if a piece of equipment fell we should land under it. Flesh heals equipment doesn't.

same thing in my high school TV program. "If you drop a camera, you had better get your foot under it. Your foot will heal!"

To this day I drop things and stick my foot out (16yrs later).
