Funny job postings

[riddler 0]

As an I.T. contractor, I spend a lot of time perusing job postings, looking for the next gig. Some of them are blatantly funny, others are funny in a subtle way. I thought I would start a thread dedicated to some of the ones I see. If you are in the job market, feel free to add your own.

Here's one from Craigslist just posted today that I am giggling about:

Are you rock star software developer and architect and have entrepreneurial ambition?
...
This is a part-time job.
This is a contract job.

I guess they want a very experienced "rock star" that works on a part-time basis. And of course you need to be entrepreneurial with revenue sharing, but also work on a contract basis? That might be against the law.

Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

The IRS doesn't specify how contractors get paid, and the opportunity to service other customers (part-time) and make a profit or loss (profit saring) are factors that point towards a non-employee.

The funny part is wanting a "rock star" to re-work and re-launch their existing software stack where any one fitting the moniker is capable of getting more interesting new work.
