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

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:

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.

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 ?

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 ?

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?
 
  • #2,030
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?
 
  • #2,031
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.
