GNU Project Humor Page
First submitted by piman, "The GNU Project opened an interesting programming humor page today (11/20/99). To quote: 'designed to provide some laughs to the working hackers'. Hey, I laughed." Some were "cute" :)

The Gingrinch and Clintons now shared the same plight
Whatever they'd do, they could not do it right.
"Folks hate you," said Bill, "once you land in D.C.
But I've got a plan: Let us bond, you and me.
We'll work as a team, yes! That's my advice!
We'll listen and nod and make NICE NICE NICE!"
The Prez put his hand out, they hugged on the ledge...
And then that old Gingrinch pushed Bill off the edge LOL!
Perhaps we should put dates on them? As you say, most of these are very old. We collected them mostly from various GNU disks. Some of it dates more than 10 years back. I wouldn't be surprised if some of this dates back to when prep.ai.mit.edu was a VAX 11/750. For those of you interested in a little history; prep was (in the early 1980's) a VAX 11/750 designed to to run a large plotter for VLSI plots. It only needed to do this a few days ever year, so rms "adopted" the spare cycles for GNU work. People generally thought that RMS was doing GNU Emacs work on it, which was true of course and accounted for the disk space used, but the machine also had all other GNU material and users on it.
"Historically, the Church has a reputation as an aggressive competitor, leading crusades to pressure people to upgrade to Catholicism, and entering into exclusive licensing arrangements in various kingdoms whereby all subjects were instilled with Catholicism, whether or not they planned to use it..."
priceless.
I guess either
1) God doesn't have a very good DNA compiler
or
2) God decided to make DNA an interpreted language!
Maybe I'm having an off day, but is this funny?

hahah, my sides...help
Sure I've seen most of this before....and it was just as stale then... I mean come on, a page of smileys?!
The GPL'd human code - muhaha, sedate me.
Anagrams...jesus, I need to sit down...
This is funny. So is this. In fact, most of attrition's gallery is.
But the GNU humour page?! Come on... I laughed harder when I rm -rf'd
Is it so shameful?? What of the redneck jokes of a comptuer??
:-)
:-)
You know u're a redneck if your computer has a gun rack... etc...
Why not look at it as a joke about the differences of our many unique cultures, not of Race... Nowhere else in the world have I seen so many people get so pissy about race...
I'm sorry if this sounds like a flame, but I can't stand it when people say that we must take down this and that because it is "offensive" or is "derogitory to a race" or "racist." No it's CENSORSHIP!
Hey I'm a white boy, but I don't mind jokes being made about the fact that I can't dance, can't play sports, and don't attract the ladies as well as people of other cultures.... So what, I'll laugh with you!
Hmmm maybe I have discovered a way to cook ala slashdot...
Slashdot Steak:
One juicy steak.
BBQ or prefered maranade sauce...
place steak on monitor..
post a flame on slashdot
apply maranade to steak
post a rebuttal flame to the earlier responces to the flame you had ealier.
apply more maranade
keep tending to the flames... making sure the steak is evenly cooked to the desired level..
remove from monitor, and serve..
---- Fight to protect your right to keep and arm bears! ummmm... ya I think that's right....
Sex the Unix way: # unzip ; strip ; touch ; finger ; mount ; fsck ; more ; yes ; umount ; sleep
IMO, some *much* better computer humor:
