Hall Of Technical Documentation Weirdness

An anonymous reader submits: "Generally speaking, with the exception of Tina on Dilbert, technical writers aren't very funny. This is something of a rare and unintentional exception. This guy has assembled a bunch of examples of bizarre technical illustration. There's only about 15 at the moment, but he's collecting further examples."

Andrew Tanenbaum -Structured Computer Organization

[Nexzus]

Fourth Edition
It's a great book, and Tanenbaum really knows his stuff, but sometimes he would put some really stupid jokes in the text.

And this line from page 21 of "E-Commerce and E-Business Infrastructure" by Chaudhury/Kuilboer cracked me up the first time I read it.

"For brick and mortar companies, the challenge is to incorporate Web-based channels into existing operations so as to maximize synergy" which reads straight out of 1999.
