    Who in his right mind would like to have his brain fondled by a MS product?

    During surgery:

    "Doctor, someones hacked into the robot!"

    "Damn! Did anyone remember to install the latest 42 security updates to Windows?"

    "Oops, sorry doctor..."

    "Argh! They've taken over the robot! Qucik unplug it now..."

    Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

    "He's dead, Jim!"
