Don't worry. You will get to see 3000 posts go by.

So let's start here.

Why was this thread invented in the first place?

The Bob (2004 ©)


It was a repeat of the original thread way way back in PF 2.0

Why didn't you just read the opening post to find that out?

Into the great beyond, where an infinite wealth of stupidity awaits us.

That would require clicking the < button way too many times.

Hey, what's this box with "First" written on it ?

Its a self-destruct for your computer, push it quick, before the evil viruses are downloaded and destryo j00s!


A woman walks into a tech support center with her pc and says its broken, that it just stopped working on here. The techie asks her what she was doing when this happened. She replied "tidying up". The techie looks at her in confusion and asks her what she means. She replies that she went into the windows folder and found everything was a mess. So she moved all the .dlls into one folder, all the .exes into another folder, and so on.

If you were that techie, what kind of horrible retribution would you exact on this woman?

My! My! Her hands should be kept on one side of the body. Her legs on the other. All her alimentary canal should be placed in one corner. Her respiratory system in another, etc :rolleyes:

You're supposed to give an answer, AND ask a question.

I like chounds idea of an anatomical re-alignment. I would also insist on putting both thumbs in the same hand, and the remaining fingers in the other.

After all, bilateral symmetry is just over-rated, isn't it ?

Exactly. We should all take on the formlessness of amoebas and globhob around.

How long will it take for this thread to die like the thread-killer champions thread?

This thread never will never die. At times, when the going gets tough, it will develop a cyst and go into a non-motile state for extended periods of time, until it is eventually resurrected by The Bob.

Which begs the question : Where is The Bob ?
 
Beats me, maybe he is at the top of your quantum well.

So why am I not going to be the one who kills that beloved thread?

Because i have a fetish for thread killing.

If i don't ask a question at the end of this post, will that kill the thread?

Yes it would have (especially if what wasn't a question also wasn't a quetion), but it's too late now.

How can you even see the keys on the keyboard this late into the weekend ?

I don't know, but I've already done about 300 lines of code in the past hour, i'd call it a productive evening.

They do it to annoy you- they like it when you call them neophytes.

How many neophytes does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

that depends on a no. of factors, the size of the bulb, its location, etc. etc.

BUT

Only one, unless they're a turtle (turtles are notoriously slow, you know).

Who else was offended by that anti-drug commercial comparing your brain to an egg?

I'm used to being called an egghead, didn't bother me.

Where did that term come from?
 
1907, "bald person," from egg (n.) + head. Sense of "intellectual" is attested from 1918, among Chicago newspapermen; popularized by U.S. syndicated columnist Stewart Alsop in 1952 in ref. to Adlai Stevenson's presidential campaign.

Do you have the quiz show "Eggheads" in America?
 
What a great random question that actually links from your last post. I like it. :smile:

So, do you have the quiz show "Eggheads" in America? :biggrin:

Because religion started everything.

'In the beginning...'
'The Earth is flat...'
'The Earth is the centre of the solar system if not the universe...'

Science came from it.
