question
1. There is a square button on the driver's side right below or above the trunk open button on my 2000 A8. The button has a little red light and a picture showing somekind of waves coming out of the roof. What on earth is that button used for? Please let me know. Thanks
2. Who has good connections? I graduated recently with a bachelors degree in business and am lookin for good jobs in Boston, NYC maybe at Ralph Lauren. Please let me know.
3. Merry CHRISTMAS!!! :-)

a little advice on forums....
you can't just hop in and ask for favors on your first post...its much like any social circles, test the waters, ease in, contribute some, let people know who you are and get to know people. Then ask for some favors. Just so happens that the D2 forum is a fairly tight knit group.
As for business connections, its hard for people to recommend a complete stranger to any of their personal business connections.
That is all.
PS Merry Christmas as well!

Be very careful. That is the ICBM button. First, put a wig and a clerical collar on a small dog...
Like so:

This will have no effect on the potentially catastrophic consequences of actuating the ICBM button -- the initiation of global thermonuclear warfare -- but it will make you laugh, and laughter is relaxing, and a good sapper needs to stay relaxed. (If you do not know what a sapper is, immediately acquire a copy of Michael Ondaatje's haunting and illuminating novel "The English Patient", read it in full, and return to this post. We'll wait here for you.)
Next, learn all you can about hippopotami. This will also have no effect on the potentially catastrophic consequences of actuating the ICBM button, but the subject of Hippopotamus Amphibius is a fascinating one. For instance, hippopotami give birth underwater, and the Disney-like images that result give a tender counterpoint to this beast's reputation as a savage and unrepentant man-killer:

Also, a hippo can run as fast underwater as it can on land, an impressive feature in a creature whose weight can reach 10,000 lbs:

Here's where things start to get interesting. The casual sharing of facts like these in a convivial social setting can win you the attention of hot science chicks like Kari Byron of the popular television program "Mythbusters":

Now, once Science Chick is focused on you, play it cool. Cologne and brand clothing are not your friend in this arena. Just rap to her, dawg! When the time feels right, put on a little music. It's hard to go wrong with Marvin Gaye in a situation like this:

Then, put on a black turtleneck and tell her you're going to hypnotize her:

That sh*t never works, of course, but it makes chicks giggle, and you want her relaxed.
Once the music and the laughter have softened her up, tell her about your years after WWII (refer to it as "dubya dubya ding ding" for the ring of authenticity), when you worked your way across Southern Italy as a sapper. Explain that your nerves are shattered. Ask her to go out to your car and use her superior technical skills and steady nerves to push the ICBM button. Get under something super safe while she's exiting the bar!
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/84266/duck_cover.jpg">
If you don't hear a huge whooshing sound in the next minute or so indicating that an ICBM has been launched, the coast is clear, and thermonuclear war has been averted. You've gotten very lucky -- your A8 has the optional "disable interior motion detector" button which came on a few 2000s. If you're leaving your children locked in the car at the mall, in the blazing sun with the windows up, pushing this button as you exit the car, but before you push the "lock" button on your remote, will allow them to go through their death throes without disturbing Christmas shoppers by triggering your car alarm with their movements.
Finally, steal a bicycle and ride home, where Kari awaits you and there are no little monsters bustin' up de party with their demands for food, clothing, and education. Your work is done, and you may now get your freak on.
