Priceless!!!

Browsing around YouTube for more videos to watch I got redirected to an empty page that was saying “I call shenanigans”.  It looked like this.

Obviously, something went wrong.  But shenanigans?  Really?  What’s that?  A brief Google search suggested an explanation from the Urban Dictionary:

Once a person calls shenanigans, he or she has temporary complete control over the surrounding events, objects, actions, and laws of physics.

Funny.  And ironic.  Especially considering the fact that I was watching the FAILblog channel.

While reading yet another sad story of the data loss, I came across a really awesome picture.  Whether you like it or not, it perfectly describes the disaster recovery plan and implementation in way too many companies.

What the duck comics has a well-timed, Ebay-involving solution to the problem that some of us have.

If you have ever been at the dentist’s office, you’ll be laughing hard watching this.  If you have never been to the dentist’s office, you’ll laugh even harder, thinking that it can’t be true.  But it can, and more so, it is always exactly like this.

… but you don’t exist.

I know that this is probably insulting to all those Megan Fox fans and such, but I’m not one of them, and this is hilarious!  Watch the interview.

A couple of days ago I had yet another one of those discussions about Apple, where I was trying to figure out why people buy things like iPhone.  After all, you don’t have to be a particularly technical person to know that other phones had more and better functionality than iPhone.  And, as always, the discussion falls from the technical and “common sense” to fashion and “cool factor”.

Today, by accident, I came across a video, which provides a lot of explanation to the phenomena.

KDE 4 released.  That’s how I started reading the discussion thread on Slashdot …

I’m slowly catching up with the news stream and all the jokes of the last few weeks.  “If programming languages were religions” is a nice one.  Here is PHP, which I spent the most time with now:

PHP would be Cafeteria Christianity – Fights with Java for the web market. It draws a few concepts from C and Java, but only those that it really likes. Maybe it’s not as coherent as other languages, but at least it leaves you with much more freedom and ostensibly keeps the core idea of the whole thing. Also, the whole concept of “goto hell” was abandoned.

And here is Perl, which is my favourite programming language so far:

Perl would be Voodoo – An incomprehensible series of arcane incantations that involve the blood of goats and permanently corrupt your soul. Often used when your boss requires you to do an urgent task at 21:00 on friday night.

Check the rest of them for fun and profit.
