    So when they say their Internet connection is down, they aren't kidding.

    Now, now, now. There's no point in insulting our neighbors to the North with stereotypes that don't reflect the reality of a richly multicultural society.

    It should be "We'll see you in court, you hosers."

    More likely:

    Queen Elizabeth: What manner of man are you that can summon up information with pictures and hyperlinks?

    Programmer: I...am a programmer.

    Queen Elizabeth: By what name are you known?

    Programmer: There are some who call me...Tim?

  18. My guess on Requiem For A Motherboard · · Score: 4, Funny

    The reason the motherboard started smoldering? The CPU maxed when he tried to load one of that site's webpages. It's impossible to pick out any actual content on that page amongst all the adverts, links, and folderol.

    4) Or *is* it?

    5) If your document were Medusa, you would not want to look directly at it.

    7) 2D is teh L4M3.

    8) You get more points per kill because it's harder to shoot them.
