Large User Groups Cause Spontaneous Greying

tiny69 writes "According to Microsoft, a Person's hair turns grey if there are more than 500 users in a User Group. Supposedly, the grey hair does not affect the functionality of the User Group. Microsoft claims to have a solution to fix the problem. How many people do you know that have hair that has turned grey? This web site has a large collection of links to humorous Microsoft Knowledge Base articles."

    I don't think anyone saw it, and it's offtopic as all get out, but it bugs me. I need to hear from other users:

    That's a typo I made earlier today. It's not a trick link. View the source if you want. It redirects to microsoft. Seems incredibly slimy and underhanded too. Just curious if anyone else was aware of this. It's not IE specific. It happened to me in Firebird on a Mac.

    He had a screaming fit when found out all his Developers, Developers, Developers belonged to LUGs. Yes.

    Then there was that Munich thing.

    What's left on that head is grey, for sure.

    linux fanboys sporting freshly died deep dark hair, claiming the latest kernal has made them young.

    It's a M$ problem, my hair won't turn grey over it or any of those other more serious problems with privacy, security, functionality, feature set, reliability and all those other things that make M$ fanboys, like yourself, so snippy.

    Poor Stevie Balmer's hair, what's left of it, is turning grey over the number of his developers who have joined Linux User Groups. Cities turning to free software are another problem he has. Oh well, he could be making money off free software like everyone else if he had a clue.

    Wow! they are wasting precious programming time because we all know programming skills are transitive. Why if Linus can program in C and write a kernal im sure he can do HTML therefore a HTML programmer (are people who write HTML really considered a programmer?) can write a kernal in C.

Someone has to keep an eye on these crazy white-folk..." from brainsnap news Well.. he has greyish hair and i laughed at both these things tonight.
