  1. The Devil On His Throne by Das+Auge · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Devil sits on his throne in Hell. On of his minions comes running in.

    "Sire! Sire! Microsoft has ported Windows to a mainframe!"

    The Devil favors him with a surprised look. "Is it that time already? The end of the mortal world?"

    The minion genuflects before him. "Yes! Yes! End of times, master!"

    The Devil rubs his chin. "Windows on a mainframe?"

    The minion nods emphatically.

    The Devil considers it for a few moments, "Well, I don't think I want it anymore."
