 04:04 <toddc> LINUX QUOTES/JOKES

 04:04 <toddc> - Please press any key!

 04:05 <toddc> - Where is the any-key?

 04:05 <toddc> QUESTION: Where do the characters go when I use my
backspace or delete them on my computer?

 04:05 <toddc> ANSWER: The characters go to different places,
depending on whom you ask:

 04:06 <toddc> The Catholic Church's approach to characters: The nice
characters go to Heaven, where they are bathed in the light of
happiness. The naughty characters are punished for their sins. Naughty
characters are those involved in the creation of naughty words, such
as "breast," "sex" and "contraception."

 04:06 <toddc> The Buddhist explanation: If a character has lived
rightly, and its karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will
be reincarnated as a different, higher character. Those funny
characters above the numbers on your keyboard will become numbers,
numbers will become letters, and lower-case letters will become
upper-case.

 04:06 <toddc> The 20th-century bitter cynical nihilist explanation:
Who cares? It doesn't really matter if they're on the page, deleted,
undeleted, underlined, etc. It's all the same.

 04:06 <toddc> The Mac user's explanation: All the characters written
on a PC and then deleted go to straight to PC hell. If you're using a
PC, you can probably see the deleted characters, because you're in PC

 04:07 <toddc> Stephen King's explanation: Every time you hit the
(Del) key you unleash a tiny monster inside the cursor, who tears the
poor unsuspecting characters to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats
them, bones and all. Hah, hah, hah!

 04:07 <toddc> Dave Barry's explanation: The deleted characters are
shipped to Battle Creek, Michigan, where they're made into Pop-Tart
filling; this explains why Pop-Tarts are so flammable, while cheap
imitations are not flammable. I'm not making this up.

 04:07 <toddc> IBM's explanation: The characters are not real. They
exist only on the screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to
delete them is merely to de-conceptualize them. Get a life.

 04:07 <toddc> PETA's  (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
explanation: You've been DELETING them??? Can't you hear them
SCREAMING??? Why don't you go CLUB some BABY SEALS while wearing a
MINK, you pig!!!!
