  1. Mind numbing boredom sells! on Massively Multiplayer Online Birdwatching Game · · Score: 1

    Mind numbing boredom is what sells games. I hear the next World of Warcraft expansion will introduce 'watching paint dry' as a new profession.

  2. Re:The Street on Second Life To Open Source Server Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    If by 'Metaverse' you mean my own personal world where I can ride around on a giraffe and shoot leprechauns then yes.

  3. Out and out ignorance on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 3, Funny

    Microsoft apparently doesn't know much about China. Since during their ad campaign for Vista they cast a giant ad on the Jin Mao tower. Everybody knows the Jin Mao tower is haunted by a headless horseman. So naturally the reason why Vista isn't selling is because people think the headless horseman in the Jin Mao tower is trying to trick people into installing inferior software on their computer.

  4. That explains quite a bit. on Delete Cookies, Inflate Net Traffic Estimates · · Score: 1

    This is a pretty interesting find. I went over the math to see what the numbers really were, then I did it again, because I couldn't believe it. Turns out, only 5 people actually use the internet, all from the same library. This obviously raises a few rather important questions, but I think more or less explains everything else... Like why that book I just bought off amazon.com said 'property of Peterbourough public library' inside the cover

  5. A marvelous invention! on Cheap Blood Clot Detection Device · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have to say as a blood clot sufferer this invention sounds great. For those of you who don't know the previous means for checking for blood clots was to drain out all the patients blood and let it settle, then the doctors would count the blood clots floating on the surface. On one occasion my doctor accidently dropped his pen in the vat, then he tried to fish it out. I went completely spare and told him if he expected to put that blood back in me after he'd been sloshing around in it he had another thing coming.
