The Datadoctor (Some Swedish Geek Humour)
How to Defraggle your Motherdisc

...

Now we will the discs inside of the mother disc. Very often they'll need some force to come off, but if you pry gently with some datachisels, it'll will work out for the best.

...

Now it's time for the main event, the data defraggling. As You know, all "1's" and "0's" are small moveable magnetic figures placed in the disc. As our problem is that there is some kind of a traffic jam on the disc, we will now place them small pieces in order again. The ultimate way to go is to use an ordinary speaker ... Put the disc carefully on top of the speaker. Be sure not do any violent moves, we don't want the magnetic pieces to go beezerk.

Give, you f*cker!
The Children's Hospital at Westmead has been accused of an inadequate response by a woman who received an obscene and abusive letter after declining to make a donation to its charity.

The letter, which gave the incorrect impression it had been signed by the chairman of the Oncology Children's Foundation, Col Reynolds, OAM, was sent to Jillian Blake a month ago.

It was addressed to Mrs "J. F---face", a term which was repeated twice more in the letter.

...

Dated April 13, 2004, it read: "Dear Mrs F---face. Ten years ago, specialists at The Children's Hospital at Westmead pleaded with me to help raise funds for medical research."

It went on to invite her to support the charity and "double your chances of winning one of our fabulous prizes".

Yeah, I'm still breathing. Apropos of nothing, here's a report about Anton Chekov's book-signing appearance at Barnes and Noble.
“Hello, my friends. I am so happy to be here with you in New York City. I arrived in this country only last Sunday and your dynamic, young president welcomed me to America by inviting me to the White House and presenting me a gift. In Russia we have a custom of exchanging gifts. If someone gives you a gift you should have something to give them. I had no suspicion that the president of the United States would give me a gift and so I had nothing to give him. When I opened the box and found this cowboy hat, I cleverly realized that if I had a new hat I would not need my old fedora, which, as everyone knows is synonymous with Chekov. My trademark hat. I removed my fedora, signed it with my autograph and presented it to the president. He accepted in most graciously. I was feeling very clever. He then turned to his aid and said, ‘Put this on the shelf next to Putin’s signed hat’. Putin… Putin… Putin is an idiot, a nincompoop. I actually did the same thing that idiot did, and the other nincompoop did it first. ”
And a link to the Jesus Action Figure site. Have your fun, benighted infidels!
