  2. Old joke by SuneSpeg · · Score: 5, Funny

    Old joke, the ./ way:

    German scientists dug 50 meters down and discovered small pieces of copper.
    After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 15,000 years ago had DSL.

    Naturally, the Russian government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper.
    100 meters down they found small pieces of glass and they soon announced that the ancient Russians 20,000 years ago already had a nation-wide fiber net.

    American scientists were outraged by this. They dug 200 meters down & found absolutely nothing.
    They happily concluded that the ancient Americans 25,000 years ago had wireless network.

  3. Man did *not* descend from apes. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why must I be forced to send my children to schools where the teachers insist that we are descended from apes?

    The very idea is utterly ridiculous. A cursory glance at ape anatomy shows that it is impossible for man to have 'evolved' from one. It is just a rubbish idea. Everyone with any education at all knows that man actually comes from australopithecus.

    Even though male gorillas outweigh the average man by over 200 pounds, we have bigger weiners. Now THAT'S an advancement.
