Humor in Times of War?

miradu asks: "With the nation in such a serious mood in such dire times, what are we supposed to do for humor? April Fool's Day is just around the corner, but that's only for one day! Sites like The Onion will always be around to poke fun at things, but what are some other smaller sites that are writing some good satire/parodies of the current situations? I need to laugh!"

    Now I get it!

    I was reading this and reading this and trying to find the joke. Especially since I would BEAT YOU WITH A STICK if you did that and were on my team.

    But then I read:
    if I didn't shut everything down and cron it to wake up at 8:45am (it goes live at 9am, don't fail me now cron!).
    and realized I was overreacting! Now I get it! The joke wasn't you did it, the joke was the post! The key was right there!

    ... and cron it to wake up at 8:45am ...
    It's a one-time job! You don't use cron(8) for one-time jobs! You use at(1)!

    LMAO! Nobody would be that stupid!

    Good one. You almost got me.
