Yes i agree. Or you can take your pc running a microsoft OS and throw it through a window.
 
A different sort of defenestration is more practical...

Quick definitions (Defenestration)

noun: the act of throwing someone or something out of a window

Hurkyl, this is the second time that an attempt to fisk your post requires a trip to the dictionary.
 
Yah, yah, it's a big stretch, but I thought it was amusing when I first heard the joke. :smile:



"The Defenestration of Prague" was always my most favoritely named historical event, thus I've always remembered the term, and love the rare chances I get to work it into everyday conversation. :smile:


P.S. What was the other time? And I can't find "Fisk" in the dictionary

I wondered where you got that! I assumed it was not just a paraffle; like my responses.
 
Fisk didn't come up on mine either. Essentially it means to scrutinize an argument in great detail.

Also, I'm not sure when, but I think actually on two other occasions your vocabulary forced me to hit the dictionary.

Here is my favorite useless word.
paneity
n. Theology, state of being merely bread.

Windows is a wonderful, robust, stable and secure operating system. It has a unique user friendly interface which is highly customizable. Microsoft rarely releases security patches since there's not much exploits to it. Bill Gates means well, he wants a computer in every home...running Windows.
