Another comic about good code

I love comics, because they often put the true reality in your face. Have you seen the comic about the only measure of code quality? Well, here’s another comic (this one by Geek and Poke) which describes exactly what good code is. Great one

A little bit of OS humor

I came upon this nice and funny image below about how various OS fanboys see their OS as compared to other OSes. It is not clear who is the owner of this to me, since it appears on so many sites, so I will just give the attribution to the place where I first saw it, which is the blog of Joey Devilla. Here’s the image:

You can head over to his blog for other funny stuff (search for the funny tag), or for some techie stuff, which is also spread throughout his blog.

Nothing funnier that kiddy-speak

One of the most interesting sites on the Internet is one that was put up by Scott Hanselman (as a way to record the words of wisdom of his kids). He opened it up so that others could make submissions as well. The site is called overheard@home. Here are some classic examples from the website:

3 yr old, watching the second hand…

"It’s 7 o’clock….now it’s 8 o’clock…now it’s NINE o’clock!!!"

And this one:

Watching the Pixar movie "WALL-E"

7 year old – "ha ha, WALL-E thinks the booby trap is a pair of sunglasses!"

Me – "Erm, that’s not called a booby trap, its called a bra."

What about this one:

3.5 year old girl to her mother: “Mama, who hatched me?”

Mother: “I GAVE BIRTH to you, honey.”

Daughter: “And Max too?”

Mother: “And Max.”

Daughter: "So you had TWO children!?"

Mother: "Yes."

Daughter: "And what did daddy do?"

There are so many gems on that website that you can go on and on. And it is updated regularly as well. I have it in my bookmarks.

This is how we roll in India

This video has been doing the rounds, and since it was shot about 10 kilometers from where I live, I thought it would be appropriate to share it:

This is How We Roll in India – The funniest bloopers are right here

Honesty, the best policy?

One of my favorite cartoonists recently reminded us that honesty is the best policy… or is it? You decide:

So this is why its called the Generation Y

Although I had never pondered on why its called the Generation Y, but I received an email recently (one of those forwards) which had a very good caricature explaining exactly why its called the Generation Y. Here it is:

I have no idea who to attribute this image to, but I couldn’t help sharing it. It’s hilarious. Incidentally, here’s some serious reading about Generation Y.

World of World of Warcraft

Ah man, although I love everything that Blizzard does, and am a big Warcraft fan myself, I am not too sure why this has become so popular. What is next? World or World of World of Warcraft? Check out the video from Onion News Network:

Oh by the way, before you get carried away. This is the Onion News Network, which means its fake news. Heh heh.
