"After seven days,
He was quite tired, so God said:
'Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread'
He gathered up some people he had made,
Created blankets, and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine,
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: Do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut, in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life,
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife? :lol:

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats, and stared right back at Him

So He said 'Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out, into the warm air-
He thought of how his friends would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats, and stared right back at Him

The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him, 'Beg Your pardon,
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke-
Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?' :lol:

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats, and stared right back at Him" - God Shuffled His Feet, by the Crash Test Dummies

I love that song!

What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Dnn't know, don't know, don't know

Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy this oughtta bug your parents
Yeah

It's un-in-tel-ligible
I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss(?)
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...

Well we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
What are the words? Oh, nevermind
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know don't know...

Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
But I don't know what I'm sayin'
What's the message I'm conveyin'?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so, well, I'll see ya!
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, adinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah

Day 2!!
!!!!!!!!!


What? No script excerpt? That's right. These final two days are devoted entirely for Episode II.

Hopefully your reaction will be less like this (http://www.episode-x.com/episode2/img/roman_fotos4.jpg) and more like this (http://64.227.26.45/Grilled-Sarlacc/c/dooku/dookunew.jpg) ;)

Well folks I have some news for you: NSYNC has not been cut from Episode II!

:eek:

That's right, because they were never in it! :p Totally an untrue rumor blown out of porpotion. Rest easy. Even Jar Jar is only in scenes that total to about 6-7 minutes, and only a minute of that is he added dialouge total. From what I hear, his first dialouge is his worst, so it gets over quickly. So enough of these fears.

Now I have even some more shocking news. Podracing and Qui-Gon are in Episode II!

:eek:

Got your attention again? But they are both very small, and you might miss both references if you aren't paying attention. So see if you can find them.

I remember when I first heard the title and freaked out. "Attack of the Clones" Now people say it with ease. It has grown on me at least. Check out some spoof posters of the movie here (http://theforce.net/humor/episodeii/pics/aotc_parody.jpg) and here (http://www.theforce.net/museum/images/Prequels/Episode_2/Posters/ts-aotcposter.jpg) and here (http://www.theforce.net/museum/images/Prequels/Episode_2/Posters/dc-aotcposter.jpg) and here (http://theforce.net/humor/episodeii/pics/Roninspoon-attackoftheclones.jpg)

Click here (http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/tfn.cgi?storyID=13489) to see George's annoucement of the title to Jabba's court.

Whew. Enjoy.

Alright, gotta start on a new Creativity Surge thing today. Hmmm. . . something about Cernd. Yeah, Cernd, and his "past" life with his wife, serving girl Fennecia, and his unborn child. Something about him being a farmer, but secretly wanting to runn off to nature and become a druid. Hmmm. . . yes, that would work. I always wanted to write about that guy; rather nondescript person, and there really isn't much to talk about his past, that is, 'til you get to his personal quest where his neighbors and everyone were angry at him. The guy has no personality; it'd be interesting to write on him, maybe try to guess what he's really like, given that BG2 doesn't give too much depth on the less important NPCs (Keldorn, Korgan, Yoshi, etc.) So I guess I'll start working something with Cernd in the CS forums. Maybe in a while, maybe till school gets out. . . no, wait, wouldn't get a chance then. Maybe then while in my spare time in May, I guess. I guess this means abandoning my first CS work, which is incomplete, on Gaal. Oh, well, I didn't have a lot going in that. Hell, I don't even have that much going for Cernd either. Bah, it'll probably turn out to be some really random writings.

Bah, lousy winds and storms, stop it, weather! Damn, wish I were a druid. Then again, I do like bad weather. But it's too damn windy! Lousy Ellicott City weather. Bah!

So, uh, where was I? Oh, yeah, something about Cernd, and in his past life or something like that. Heh, suppose that has some potential. Still, I haven't thought out 60% of most things. Unformed garbage in my head.

Well, sorry for being such a rambling idiot spouting spam that no one really cares about. But it's good to just get what's on mind onto the monitor. Heh, just seems that it's relieving me a bit. From the lousy weather anyways. And the muggy weather and the tiredness.

And I got Icewind Dale!

Yay. Hurrah.

No typo, more like bad paste. I'll fix it. And yes, the text did change to Message Boards, along with some other stuff on that panel.

As for Do you have to keep making new spam threads because of UBB's thread length limitation?

UBB sucks, PHPBB owns joo!

No, I don't, since there's no limitation. However, after you have a post with more than 300 replies in it, it starts to get slower and slower to add new replies every time. It's ok up to 1000, but there's really no sense in letting it go that far. It's pointless spam anyway.

phpBB is nice, but it's still lacking at least half of the modifications I've made to this one.

There was a murder in the red barn
Murder in the red barn

The trees are bending over and
The cows are lying down
The autumn's taking over
You can hear the Buckshot hounds
The watchman said to Reba the loon
Was it pale at Manzanita
Was it Blind Bob Raccoon?
Pin it on a drifter
They sleep beneath the bridge
One plays the violin
And sleeps inside a fridge

There was a murder in the red barn
A murder in the red barn

Now they surrounded the house
The smoked him out
They took him off in chains
The sky turned black and bruised
And we had months of heavy rains
Now the raven's nest in the rotted roof
Of Chenoweth's old place
And no one's asking Cal
About that scar upon his face
'Cause there's nothin' strange
About an axe with blood stains
in the barn
There's always some killin'
You got to do around the farm

A murder in the red barn
A murder in the red barn

Now a lady can't do nothin'
Without
Folks' tongues waggin'
Is that
Blood on the tree
Or is it autumn's red blaze
When the ground is soft for diggin'
And the rain will bring all its gloom
There's nothin' wrong with a lady
Drinkin' alone in her room

There was a murder in the red barn
A murder in the red barn...

Eat It
by Al Yankovic

Lyrics:

How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raison Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are some cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it

I don't care if you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter it it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeate it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Star Trek Rhapsody (set to tune of Bohemian Rhapsody) by Weird Al:

I am the Captain of the Starship Enterprise.
Captain Kirk! This is Spock. Please step on the transporter
Dilithium crystals! Hit by Klingon missiles! No!
I'm a doctor!
Not an actor!
Not a milkman!
What does that mean?
And I'm sorry, he's dead Jim.

Photon torpedo-o-o.

Lieutenant Uhura, open hailing frequency.
Yes, Captain Kirk, opening hailing frequency, sir.
Let's boldly go where no-one's gone before.

Warp three, sir.
No! That will be way too slow.
Warp four, sir?
That still is way too slow.
Warp five, sir?
That still is too damn slow.
Warp six?
It's too damn slow.
Warp seven?

DAY 1!!
!!!!!!!!

Here we are, the wait is over or (almost over.) Let's kick it off with the opening crawl:

There is unrest in the Galatic Senate. Several thousand solar systems have declared their intentions to leave the Republic.

The seperatist movement, under the leadership of Count Dooku, has made it difficult for the limited number of Jedi Knights to maintain peace and order in the galaxy.

Senator Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, is returning to the Galatic Senate to vote on the critical issue of creating an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC to assist the overwhelmed Jedi...

And then something that has never happened before: the camera tilts up instead of down. Interesting.

Although it's not said in the movie, the EU literature I think has revealed that there are about 10,000 Jedi Knights (I guess this isn't counting Padawans) in the galaxy at the beginning of AOTC. There's going to be a lot of deaths between Episode II and IV ;).

And one more thing to look out for when you go see the movie... Remember in Episode IV, A New Hope, the stormtrooper hits his helmet on the doorway when a group of them enters the Death Star room C-3PO and R2-D2 are in (during the trash compactor sequence.) Well in Episode II, somebody hits their helmet again on a doorway. So be on the lookout for that ;).

Lryics to my bands new song (punk band)Its your loss

VERSE

I want to stay at home
And not get out of bed
But I hate being alone
I sometimes wish I was dead

But I am sick and tired
Of you playing with my mind
Our time has expired
But I will give it another try
*Quick break*
VERSE 2

When I go to school
I see you standing there
And all I want to do
Is hold you hand

Yeah you mean that much to me
And I don’t want to leave
People say we’re not meant to be
Its not like they try to see

CHORUS

[And] I try to do my best
I tried to pass your test
But then I over shot
You didn’t want to carry on
*Music bit thing*
It’s your loss
It’s your loss

VERSE 3
Now every time I see you
You’re always with that guy
I wonder if you have a clue
He’s the guy no one likes

He tried to ruin my friends
And he did for a while
But now he is at it again
I just want to see you smile

CHORUS

*Break*

If what you say is true
That you don’t want me
And not said at face value
It’s your loss

CHORUS x 2

What do you think of them?

There's these things called "Easter Eggs". No I'm not talking about the colorful little eggs the Easter Bunny hides around your house, I'm talking about the spoofs and tip o' the hats that are put into works. Someone hits his helmet on a doorway in Episode II. This is an Easter Egg. Pointing out easter eggs is a common thing nowadays, just so you know. Well it's a tip of the hat to an accident where a stormtrooper hit his helmet on a doorway in the first Star Wars movie ever made. In Star Wars history, that would be labeled as classic.

Actually Grim Ripper it contains all of them since that's the site i used to find them. However i still haven't finished going through it so i'll post any more good ones i find (i've already got a 20 page doc of logs and quotes which i posted the gud'uns into random babling #3 [the prequel] )

Ok here to tide you over till is some 've just found from the virus section -

Customer: "Excuse me, there is an empty-folder virus on my disk."

Customer: "I need you to tell me what browser I am using. Is it Netscape 2.0? The reason I need to know is that I have read that Netscape 2.0 distributes a virus called Java."

Once in school I was bringing some document on a diskette to our principal. She was on the phone. While waiting I began playing with the sliding metal shutter on the diskette. She looked at me sternly and told me to stop it or viruses would get in.

First Man: "My laptop is running so slow and crashes all the time. I'm going to take it to the shop to check it for viruses."
Second Man: "I don't worry about viruses. Not many people know that viruses work in the back of the memory, and Windows is in the front of the memory. So it's something else."


Customer: "I found a bug in my computer."
Tech Support: "How do you know it's really a bug?"
Customer: "I can see it."
Tech Support: "You can physically see a bug in your computer?"
Customer: "Yes."
This was definitely worth a trip to his office. When I got there, I saw an anti-virus warning, which included a graphic of a hand holding a bug. I explained that the anti-virus software had discovered a virus on his system.

Customer: "Well, can you give me another computer so I can let this one rest and recover for a couple of days?"
I cleaned the virus off his system and told him his computer was feeling better now.

Hope you liked 'em there not as good as the previous but i haven't got the time to wade through the site to grab the quotes at the moment. I'll post some more later if i get time.
Enjoy :grin:


[Edit] Ok i've just been through some more of the site to bring you these choice customer quotes -

Customer: "Do I have to plug in this power supply to make it work?"
Customer: "Memory? Is that the RAM stuff?"
Customer: "...I just had 60 more of them RAMs installed..."
Customer: "My computer has 6 gigs of memory."
Customer: "I have the monitor apart, I just can't figure out where to install the video card."
Customer: "Does this monitor come with the latest version of the Internet?"


Customer: "Is that dot as in comma?"
Customer: "I don't have a space bar."
Customer: "How many keys are on the 124-key keyboard?"
Customer: "Do I hit 'F' and '8' at the same time?"
Customer: "Upper or lower caps?"
Customer: "Lower case? What's that?"
Customer: "Is that the letter zero or the number zero?"
Customer: "How do you type an uppercase zero?"
Customer: "Do you want a forward backslash?"
Customer: "The backslash with the question mark, right?"
Customer: "After that is a bottom slash."
Customer: "Then there's a little slash...."
Customer: "Where can I find the letters 'com' and 'dot' on my keyboard
Customer: "Exclamation mark -- that's the big stick with the dot underneath, right?"
Customer: "What am I getting a keyboard error for? The keyboard isn't even plugged in!"
Customer: "So then I front click on there...."
Customer: "I forward clicked on this icon."


Customer: "How do I get the other side of the CD to play?"
Customer: "I just got this CD of Internet software in a gaming magazine. How do I install it on my Sony PlayStation?"
Customer: "I am having problems printing. Does this have anything to do with the meteor shower? I was just wondering."
Customer: "If I had a color monitor, would my printer print in color?"
Customer: "How do you unsave something in the printer?"
Customer: "Oh!! You mean I need a modem AND a computer to get on the Internet!?"


Customer: "My modem needs a new hard drive."
Customer: "I have a long distance modem."
Customer: "My modem can't see my Windows!"
Customer: "During that bad thunderstorm last night, lightning struck the telephone pole outside while I was online. Ever since then your modems haven't been working. When are you going to get 'em fixed?"
Customer: "What kind of ink cartidges do I need for this scanner?"
Customer: "Can it damage a mouse to be thrown at a wall?"
Customer: "The modem didn't fit in the slot, so I had to file it till it would fit."


Customer: "Is it ok to clean my MAC in the tub as long as the power is off?"
Customer: "I've been sitting here for over twenty minutes with it saying I'm connected. When will it do something?"
Customer: "This is a Mac. It doesn't need an IP address."
Customer: "I'm no computer whiz, but I was wondering which end of the phone cord goes into the wall and which one goes into the modem."
Customer: "Is there a place I can go in the computer to make the phone line better?"
Customer: "If I want somebody to send a reply to my email...should I include a self-addressed stamped envelope along with it?"
Customer: "I can't send an email. Is the Internet full?"
Customer: "I get this error when I check my mail. It says, 'There are no new messages.'"


I really hope these aren't all the same customer :D

Sat, 18th May '02, 2:10pm
Yep. All the logs/quotes i have posted are 100% genuine.

Heres some humourous emails to tech companys:

Emailed to a corporate help desk:

I spillced coffcee cincto my kcey boardc.c As a rcesulct, c's gcet inctermixcced with cwactever I ctypce. Plcease replace mcy kceyboard.
ccthanks.

Email from a customer:

"CanYouFixTheSpaceBarOnMyKeyboard?"


And 2 logs which show that some people really don't have any common sense:

Customer: "Hello, is this Tech Support?"
Tech Support: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?"
Customer: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?"
Tech Support: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"
Customer: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
Tech Support: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"
Customer: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotion. It just has '4X' on it."
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CDROM drive as a cup holder and snapped it off the drive.


Customer: "I stuck something in my printer, and now it doesn't work."
Tech Support: "What did you put in it?"
Customer: "It's a tortilla."
Tech Support: "Uh. How did you come to have a tortilla stuck in your printer?"
Customer: "I own a tortilla business. I thought it would be cool to print my logo on a tortilla."

Customer: "I'd like to buy the Internet. Do you know how much it is?"
Customer: "How much does it cost to have the Internet installed?"
Customer: "Can you copy the Internet for me on this diskette?"
Customer: "I would like an Internet please." Customer: "When I sign up, do I need to be home so you can come out and install the Internet to my house?"
Customer: "I just got your Internet in the mail today..."
Customer: "I just downloaded the Internet. How do I use it?"
Customer: "I don't have a computer at home. Is the Internet available in book form?"
Customer: "Will the Internet be open on Memorial Day tomorrow?"
Customer: "The Internet is running too slow. Could you reboot it please?"
Customer: "We're going on holiday for three months, can you suspend the Internet for us please?"
Customer: "Hi. Is this the Internet?"
Customer: "Do you own the Internet?"
Customer: "Is this 'Internet' the same as 'www' and do you own that as well?"
Customer: "I lost my Internet. I switched it off last night and turned on this morning, and it's gone. I just paid $19.95 a month, and I have lost it already. Can you send me another one?"
Customer: "I broke the Internet! Can you fix it for me?"
Customer: "Every time I call you I get disconnected from the Internet!"
Customer: "What do you mean I have to dial into the Internet every time I want to go to your web site? I thought I only had to do that the first time I used this software!"
Customer: "I found this [web] page on [another service] but the name you need to get there is too long. Shorten it."

[edit] Rejoice i have discovered a whole new type of tech humour. The B*stard operator from hell episodes. Heres one picked out at random. If you like it go here (http://members.iinet.net.au/~bofh/) for more.


The B*stard Operator From Hell
B*stard Operator From Hell #1

It's backup day today so I'm pissed off. Being the BOFH, however, does have it's advantages. I reassign null to be the tape device - it's so much more economical on my time as I don't have to keep getting up to change tapes every 5 minutes. And it speeds up backups too, so it can't be all bad can it? Of course not.

A user rings

"Do you know why the system is slow?" they ask

"It's probably something to do with..." I look up today's excuse ".. clock speed"

"Oh" (Not knowing what I'm talking about, they're satisfied) "Do you know when it will be fixed?"

"Fixed? There's 275 users on your machine, and one of them is you. Don't be so selfish - logout now and give someone else a chance!"

"But my research results are due in tommorrow and all I need is one page of Laser Print.."

"SURE YOU DO. Well, you just keep telling yourself that buddy!" I hang up.

You'd really think people would learn not to call..

The phone rings. It'll be him again, I know. That annoys me. I put on a gruff voice

"HELLO, SALARIES!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've got the wrong number"

"YEAH? Well what's your name buddy? Do you know WASTED phone calls cost money? DO YOU? I've got a good mind to subtract your wasted time, my wasted time, and the cost of this call from your weekly wages! IN FACT I WILL! By the time I've finished with you, YOU'LL OWE US money! WHAT'S YOUR NAME - AND DON'T LIE, WE'VE GOT CALLER ID!!"

I hear the phone drop and the sound of running feet - he's obviously going to try and get an alibi by being at the Dean's office. I look up his username and find his department. I ring the Dean's secretary.

"Hello?" she answers

"Hi, SIMON, B.O.F.H. HERE, LISTEN, WHEN THAT GUY COMES RUNNING INTO YOUR OFFICE IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS, CAN YOU GIVE HIM A MESSAGE?"

"I think so..." she says

"TELL HIM `HE CAN RUN, BUT HE CAN'T HIDE'"

"Um. Ok"

"AND DON'T FORGET NOW, I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT THAT FILE IN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH YOUR ANSWERS TO THE PURITY TEST IN IT..."

I hear her scrabbling at the terminal...

"DON'T BOTHER - I HAVE A COPY. BE A GOOD PERVY AND PASS THE MESSAGE ON.."

She sobs her assent and I hang up. And the worst thing is, I was just guessing about the purity test thing. I grab a quick copy anyway, it might make for some good late-night reading.

Meantime backups have finished in record time, 2.03 seconds. Modern technology is wonderful, isn't it?

Another user rings.

"I need more space" he says

"Well, why not move to Texas?" I ask

"No, on my account, stupid."

Stupid? Uh-Oh..

"I'm terribly sorry" I say, in a polite manner equal to that of Jimmy Stewart in a Weekend Family Matine Feature "I didn't quite catch that. What was it that you said?"

I smell the fear coming down the line at me, but it's too late, he's a goner and he knows it.

"Um, I said what I wanted was more space on my account, *please*"

"Sure, hang on"

I hear him gasp his relief even though he'd covered the mouthpeice.

"There, you've got *plenty* of space now!"

"How much have I got?" he simps

Now this *REALLY* *PISSES* *ME* *OFF*! Not only do they want me to give them extra space, they want to check it, then correct me if I don't give them enough! They should be happy with what I give them *and that's it*!

Back into Jimmy Stewart mode.

"Well, let's see, you have 4 Meg available"

"Wow! Eight Meg in total, thanks!" he says, pleased with his bargaining power

"No" I interrupt, savouring this like a fine red at room temperature, with steak, extra rare, to follow; "4 Meg in total.."

"Huh? I'd used 4 Meg already, How could I have 4 Meg Available?"

I say nothing. It'll come to him.

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghh hhhH!"

I kill me; I really do!

Microsoft Lightbulb Jokes
Q: How many Bill Gateses does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One. He puts the bulb in and lets the world revolve around him.
Q: How many Microsoft executives does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We can see no need for uninstallation and have therefore made no provision for light bulbs to be removed.

Q: How many Microsoft support staff does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Four. One to ask "What is the registration number of the light bulb?", one to ask "Have you tried rebooting it?", another to ask "Have you tried reinstalling it?" and the last one to say "It must be your hardware because the light bulb in our office works fine..."

Q: How many Microsoft tech support people does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We have an exact copy of the light bulb here and it seems to be working fine. Can you tell me what kind of system you have? Okay. Now exactly how dark is it? Okay, there could be four or five things wrong ... have you tried the light switch?

Q: How many Microsoft technicians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Three. Two to hold the ladder and one to hammer the bulb into a faucet.

Q: How many Microsoft vice presidents does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Eight. One to work the bulb and seven to make sure that Microsoft gets $2 for every light bulb ever changed anywhere in the world.

Q: How many Microsoft testers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We just determine that the room is dark; we don't actually change the bulb. Since we have a dead-bulb result on file from a previous test, rest assured that Development is working on a bug fix.

Q: How many Microsoft shipping department personnel does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We can change the bulb in seven to ten working days. If you call before 2pm and pay an extra $15, we can get the bulb changed overnight. Don't forget to put your name in the upper right-hand corner of the light bulb box.

Q: How many Microsoft managers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We've formed a task force to study the problem of why light bulbs burn out, and to determine what, exactly, we as supervisors can do to make the bulbs work smarter, not harder.

Q: How many Windows users does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One. But they'll swear up and down that it was JUST as easy as it would be for a Mac user.

Q: How many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Bill Gates will just redefine Darkness(TM) as the new industry standard.

Q: How many Microsoft programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 57; one to write WinGetLightBulbHandle(), one to write WinQueryLightBulbStatus(), one to write.....

Q: How many Apple Newton users does it take to change a light bulb?

What Gender are Computers?

What gender are computers? The debate rages on:

Five reasons computers must be female...

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. Even your smallest mistakes are immediately committed to memory for future reference.
3. The native language used to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
4. The message, "Bad command or filename," is about as informative as "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you."
5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
....and on the other hand.....

Five reasons computers must be male...

1. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
2. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
3. The lights are on but nobody's home.
4. Big power surges knock them out for the night.
5. A better model is always just around the corner.

on my last excursion to plymouth i saw a guy (as in guy fawkes) dressed-up as an IRA sniper on a balcony in summer, a newspaper salesman screaming 'standard' (or whatever the equivalent is) at the top of his voice without any newspapers to sell, and what appeared to be a ****-eating tramp. i won't even mention the residents...

And I just ignored her but then today at recess she b*tched me out again with a whole bunch of people who didn't know what *she* was talking about. And then some other girl comes up to me and I don't even know her and she starts b*tching at me too!

This is the truth, not a flame, and the truth hurts.

Its (sic) sad the realise (sic) anew, or for the first time, or whatever, that the majority of the human race doesnt (sic) care that much about their kindred.

Ummmm...NO.

First of, anew is a synonym for the first time.

Secondly, who are you to say that more than 3 billion people don't care that much about their kindred...how can you say that? And if you've had problems with people on these boards, call them out with a PM or a post, but don't revert to childish behavior by beating around the bush with this sympathy BS!

Come on...yes, there is a TON of horrible things and horrible people on this planet, but to say that most of them don't care for each other is just wrong.

To start with, Anew means 1) Once more, again. 2) In a new or different way.
So I dont know where you got your definition from..but you need to recheck.

Second, I am a person who has watched the news, and to have seen what is on the news, doenst look well for the Human race, murders, terrorism, etc. oh yeah..makes the Human race just the most perfect race around.

'Sympathy BS' if you had any idea what I was talking aobut, you would have left that out. I was in the Chatroom talking to her. So dont assume things.

There are tons of things that humans do to each other, and as I said..most people dont care about others. If they did then there would not be half the things that are going on.

Uh...slip what? I never slipped anything, and I'm not sure what you are trying to say, and you don't know what I'm trying to say.

My problem with DeBhall Stasion's post was that he generalized half of all humans (that's over 3 billion people) into an unfair category!

Hey--a lot of people watch the news also! I bet they're all in the Mensa Society, right?

OK. If the majority of the human race didn't care about each other, how can we have an organized society with (I'll admit a sometimes corrupt) government?

All I'm trying to say is that it's wrong to degrade ourselves unnecessarily!

This will be the last thing I say to this...

To start with.
Shadow_Goddess was talking about the fact that everybody isnt nice to everybody. You can not tell me that you are nice to every person, and I do mean every person that you meet, be it on the streets, or in a crowded room, or where ever. Dont try to tell me that, because I will not believe you, I will not believe it of any human being. Because it is not possible. You may try to be nice to everybody..but your not going to be.

My problem with DeBhall Stasion's post was that he generalized half of all humans (that's over 3 billion people) into an unfair category!
My problem is: You cant spell my name right, this is the second time; atleast that you have misspelt it. Scrool all the way down to the bottom of the page that you type on, the box that has a little scroll bar on it, scroll down that, you can even change pages, to make sure that your seeing what you want to, and look at the spelling of my name.(note: this a applys to everyone that has problems with it, it will make people much happier)
Yes it generalized half of the human race, into an unfair category? I wouldnt go that far, The truth hurts, Bear it.
OK. If the majority of the human race didn't care about each other, how can we have an organized society with (I'll admit a sometimes corrupt) government?
Ok, if the majority of the human race cared about each other, why would the government be corrupt? Governemnt corruption is politicians going into office, to further their own ends very few go into office with the inclination of bettering the lives of citizens.

[Don't pull terrorism BS, either, all the aftermath of that sh*tty act showed the world is that HUMANS CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER MORE THAN EVER, NOW]
Ok...correct me if Im wrong, but Terrorism is an act of hate.
Sure some people are closer because of it, but others are torn apart because of it(and I am not speaking of only Spt.11, I am speaking of terroism in general; which you seemed to miss the point of).

I agree, we should not degrade ourselves unnecessarily. Key word being unnecessarily Sorry if this hurts your feelings, but humans are not perfect, in some ways we are worse than animals.

/me ends the rant permenantly.

SlimShogun
Thu, 23rd May '02, 6:44am
Nice spin, DeBhaal.

Don't give me sh*t for misspelling your name (not a word found in any dictionary) and tell me to "scrool," you fool. That's poetic justice. Yeah, this definitely "applys" to everyone, right?

First, you said:
the majority of the human race doesnt care that much about their kindred.
After I shot that down, you spun it into:
most people dont care about others.
I responded, and you now pretend that what you were saying is:
You may try to be nice to everybody..but your not going to be.

An easier route would be to apologize for overstating that some humans are malicious at heart and many seek to disregard the feelings of others. Instead, you put words into my mouth:
Sorry if this hurts your feelings, but humans are not perfect
I never said they were perfect! I never said that terrorism wan't an act of hate! arghhhhhh

Also, I had a pretty freaky dream last night... it began as a pretty normal one, but during the end I was confused if I was a mage for real, and where did the effects for my spells come if it was real, and then there was some runes in my arms and the plavce was full of people who were, me included, some sort of Bhaalspawn thingies... I tried to scrub the runes off and partially succeeded, then I asked a person who used to be my friend but whom I haven't seen in years that did she have the runes too or was it just a hallucintaion....

On this dream subject. I sometimes have cascading dreams where after one ends in ym dream i wake up get out of bed and then suddenly everything goes wierd and i cascade into another waking up, thinking it's real life and then all goes wierd again.

I had a very strange dream a couple of nights ago. I was inside a coffin and could hear a discussion about me outside of it. The people outside said "Right he's to be buried with all these people" and read off a long list of names. Then i felt the coffin tipping and i started to slide out of the bottom and into a black whole. I woke up at this point fell forward and looked around expecting to see all the people i'd been buried with.

That dream lasted 5 mins or less and i'd been slepping for nearly 10 hours. Why does dream time never coincide with real time??

George Bush is not a nice man. I think that "forcing" a country to accept ultra conservative values, and then denouncing critiscim of them is a very poor idea, and the signs of a very weak man. I believe his foreign policy (which is how the rest of the world will view him - given that we do not hear of much US domestic policy) is hugely naive.

Nobleman, I am curious (though not flaming you). As a scientist, are you not dismayed by GWBs environmental, humanitarian and ethical (third world contraception/abortionist) views?

Aha!! I'm not the only person in the world who likes George Bush!! Personally, I think the world could use some people to get things moving. Of course, I DO agree that Bush takes this to a rather high degree, but some good will come of it. Maybe I just think like this because my government has decided to take on the role of extreme panzies who can't deal with world-affecting issues. In case no one has heard, our "brilliant" PM has decided to take all Canadian troops out of Afghanistan by the end of August.

Sprite
Fri, 24th May '02, 11:30pm
Do you think he would have a chance of re-election if he hadn't? There have been so many petitions and letters to editors since April 18 demanding that we remove Canadian troops from US command that he couldn't help but get the message that that's what Canadians want. And he always gives the public what it wants, no matter how stupid it is. Remember when he cancelled the EH-101 purchase the month after his first election, even though it was obvious it would cost more not to get new S&R helicopters than it would to go through with the purchase we'd committed to? What the public wants, the public gets, so that Jean can keep the only job in the world he's qualified for- kissing the electorate's bum.

But I have to agree with the Canadian public on this one- the Canadian army is underfunded, underequipped, undertrained for combat missions. We have nothing to contribute in Afghanistan except to meaninglessly sacrifice lives- the only reason we were there in the first place was to show the US how sad we were about Sept 11. The Americans can do what needs to be done in Afghanistan far more efficiently than we can. What the Cdn Forces are trained and equipped for is policing and peacekeeping- we should stick to that, we're good at it.

Faerus Stoneslammer

That's true Sprite, but that brings up another point, Chretien is one of the main reasons that our military is so crappy. Two of the four bases I've lived on in the past 16 years (that's my whole life by the way, except for a 6-month period in 1990 when I lived in Wales) have been closed!! Chretien seems annoyingly happy to take as much money as possible away from our military, among other things.

Sprite
Sat, 25th May '02, 3:06am
Hey! Which bases? My grandpa was a Sgt Major in Borden for most of his adult life.

I feel for you re: base closings- isn't it amazing how you can get attached to them? I was stationed at CFOCS Chilliwack when it was sold- and that base was paradise, there's no other word for it, I've never been so happy in my life. Salmon fishing 5 minutes from work! And glacier-fed lakes to swim in! Ahhhhhhh... So, naturally, it was sold to a much more profitable enterprise than national defence. :( I darn near wept. And the poor little buggers training for officerhood now don't have anywhere near so nice for their initiation into hell. :heh:

Dundurn, on the other hand, is just plain no fun. I spent an instructive month touring former concentration camps in Germany and had a distinct sense of deja vue- Dundurn looks JUST like Dachau. If you've lived there, my serious condolences. :eek: Those draughty stone barracks were so cold at night there was some SERIOUS fraternisation going on just for body heat.

I went from CFB Moosejaw (where I was born) to CFB Portage la Prairie (these are the 2 bases I mentioned that have been closed) to Wales, to CFB Winnipeg, to....CFB Borden, my current home!

Faerus- you must be in an Air Force rather than Army family, yes? I hear Borden is nice. Luxury compared to CFB Winnipeg anyway. :) And you aren't far from great camping there, if you like to camp.

I didn't know CFB Moosejaw was closed! I spent two weeks training in the weapons depot there. The junior ranks club looked like 10-forward and they served the best Army food I've ever seen. One of the Air types I worked with there said, "yeah, they have to feed us better than you Army morons because we can't be paid to live in a hole in the ground and eat out of baggies". :) Happy memories.

Hmmm.... Guess what? Expect more incoheerent spam than usual... I didn't sleep at all last night, and I'm once again on cafeine/sugar high, thanks to very strong and sweet tea....

On the topic of more odd dreams: I was at some sort of a beach, it was rainy, and there were some peoiple doing that thing in which they use sort of a parachute to hang behind a boat... and For some reason, Tal was there, wearing a pointy hat, and complaining that it was cold...

Oh, and I got indirectly into radio this morning. The Radio Mafia morning show had a lame joke about Kent and a rhyme involving butter made at summer, but they had no idea what the relevance of summer in the butter was. So, I went to their website and told them what it meant, and they used it in the same show. Don't I feel proud...

I've just spent a couple of hours making a quaterstaff for myself. I began with a curtain pole, which I sanded down. I then traced "Lawful Good" in elven script along either end, and went over it with indellible ink. Finally, I wrapped some black elastic around the middle and nailed it into place. Now it looks really really, cool. :D

Just thought I'd share that with you all.

You're right Sprite! (rhyme :))
My dad's in the Air Force. I wouldn't say Borden is "nice" though, but it's tolerable.
The camping's nice too, unless you get an unwelcome visitor, like a raccoon.....or a bear. :grin:

No,i DONT like Neopets,but yesterday i went and played like 2 hours until my eyes were big as saucers and my father threatened to kill me.Well,the last one wasnt exactly true. I am going to see Star Wars in next Tuesday i think. :D Bye,now.*is dragged away by men in white coats*

Why do we all have to go gem seaching now? It's cool and all, but I kind of liked the avataars. They stood out and everyone was different. Now most of us who can't get a custom avataar all look alike, not completly, but pretty close. And how do you get more gems? I only have three and others have about ten.

Wed, 29th May '02, 2:42am
I wonder which gem I am. I think I'm a Ziose gem. Am I a Ziose gem? Or am I a pseudo-Ziose gem who really thinks he's a real Ziose gem? Maybe I'm just some crazy dude locked up in a mental institution under the delusion that he (or she) is a Ziose gem. But I think I really am a Ziose gem. The ones worth 52 or so gold pieces.

DRSW, if you hate the gems so much, donate to SP, then you wont have to worry about it.

Besides, the gems are Tals sublimial message system to get more people to donate money.

I dont think that he would do such a thing. I think that it was good idea but it seems that some people dont agree and everybody agreed with avatars, so my point is to change it back. Or change it to something else. My reason of disliking is that some games are simmilar and even if there were only 30 avatars, it was more, hm, collorfull?

Taluntain
Wed, 29th May '02, 11:23am
Do you really think I had wasted so much time on this just to revert back to avatars? Not bloody likely.

Obviously people got used to the avatars, and it's in people's nature to oppose change at first, until they get used to it. But you will get used it.

And if you'd read the FAQ, which has all the updated info about the gem system, you'd see that if you hold your mouse cursor over the gem it'll display the gem's name.
