Amusing little bug (when it doesn't happen to you, that is): install script does rm -rf /usr for ubuntu #123

Which led me to this famous bugs page as well.
Is this an IQ test, since you have hidden something unknown behind a link? I surely won't click.

Installing bumblebee, an abandoned 2011 project, with a short-living version of an installation script from 24 May 2011 would be dangerous under Ubuntu. Opening the website where that problem is discussed is not dangerous.

It's a pretty famous typo.

Did you hear about the library that started to require reservations because of the pandemic?

People had trouble getting them because the place was always booked.

The other day I spotted an albino dalmatian.

It's the least I could do for him.

President Johnson enjoyed surprising unsuspecting guests when taking them for a ride in his Amphicar.

The President, with Vicky McCammon in the seat alongside him and me in the back,was now driving around in a small blue car with the top down. We reached a steep incline at the edge of the lake and the car started rolling rapidly toward the water. The President shouted, "The brakes don’t work! The brakes won’t hold! We’re going in! We’re going under!" The car splashed into the water. I started to get out. Just then the car leveled and I realized we were in a Amphicar. The President laughed. As we putted along the lake then (and throughout the evening), he teased me. "Vicky, did you see what Joe did? He didn’t give a damn about his President. He just wanted to save his own skin and get out of the car." Then he’d roar.

Life writes the best jokes! I watched a documentary about boat people on a river in Myanmar. One trades vegetables and other goods for a living. He said: "I used to be a farmer, but things went very badly. Then I passed my land on to family members."

In the bleak morning light a figure appears in silhouette, combat boots crumbling the ragged desert soil. Fast jets scream overhead splitting dawn's calm. Wistfully, the e-warrior speaks,

"I love the feel of chaff in the morning. It's like... being slapped in the face with a sack of poker chips."
