So there is this footballplayer playing a match, but everytime he shoots wide he yells: "Damnit I missed".
A priest who is watching the game says to him "If thou says that one more time, God's lightning will strike you down where you stand!"

So when the footballplayer misses again, and again says "damnit I missed"; suddenly a lightning bolt strikes and annihilates the priest. And directly after that a booming voice was heared from the skies: "Damnit I missed!"

Linux has too many commands available. I think all anybody should really have to know are ls and vi. No special arguments either.

Hate learning a different OS...

Seriously though, there's a few of us around that have a decent *nix knowledge level.  Feel free to PM me if you need a hand... Linux is all I run at home anymore.

I suppose I wouldn't have this much trouble if I could actually retain any of the commands I'm supposed to be learning. Plus I'd really love to be able to actually focus on what the chaptTHATDOGHASAPUFFYTAIL!

Thank you for curing my boredom, you kind, kind person.   :-D

If nothing else, I got a good laugh out of it.  But now I am bored again...

A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician were sitting in a street cafe watching the crowd. Across the street they saw a man and a woman entering a building. Ten minutes later they reappeared together with a third person.
- They have multiplied, said the biologist.
- Oh no, an error in measurement, the physicist sighed.
- If exactly one person enters the building now, it will be empty again, the mathematician concluded.

Did they ever think that maybe there was another person already in the building?  I mean, come on.  Thanks, by the way.
Too late. My head a'sploded all over my beautiful computer screen. :(.

You have a monitor?  I figured you did not have one and just winged it.  After all, your avatar does not have a head, so what use would a monitor be?

I'm in love. :\ This feeling bothers me. Cannot compute.

Was it because of Ivan's joke?  It was pretty funny and all, but it seems like you're overreacting a bit.

I don't think the headassplosion was re: my joke. This is, after all, the Apparently Necessary Random Stuff Thread. But on the slim chance that it was, full disclosure: I read it yesterday on 4chan /b/, after following banana's link in the Bored thread.

Oh, and Kanca -- A scientist is limited to observable facts within the framework of the experiment. A philosopher, the other hand, might consider the possibility of people pre-existing in the building. A philosopher might also consider the possibility of a green jello monster spawning satanic minions, or that the building is an illusion. But the 3 guys in the joke were scientists.

The problem with me is that I do not stop and consider the small details in stories like that, which often leads me to false conclusions.
