Clinton will soon be having a website for his presidential library put up: http://www.clintonpresidentialcenter.com/index.html , but this "First President of the Internet" will have the site's chat rooms and forums "strictly monitored for anti-Clinton comments."

Mansion Windows

Bill Gates dies and goes to hell.

Satan greets him: "Welcome Mr. Gates, we've been waiting for you. This will be your home for all eternity. You've been selfish, greedy and a big liar all your life. Now, since you've got me in a good mood, I'll be generous and give you a choice of three places in which you'll be locked up forever.

Satan takes Bill to a huge lake of fire in which millions of poor souls are tormented and tortured. He then takes him to a massive coliseum where thousands of people are chased about and devoured by starving lions. Finally, he takes Bill to a tiny room in which there is a bottle of the finest wine sitting on a table. To Bill's delight, he sees a PC in the corner. Without hesitation, Bill says "I'll take this option."

"Fine," says Satan, allowing Bill to enter the room. Satan locks the room after Bill.

As he turns around, he bumps into Lucifer. "That was Bill Gates!" cried Lucifer. "Why did you give him the best place of all!"

"That's what everyone thinks" snickered Satan. "The bottle has a hole in it!"

"What about the PC?"

"It's got Windows 95!" laughed Satan. "And it's missing three keys,"

"Which three?"

"Control, Alt and Delete."

St. Patrick's special

A flying saucer touches down in the woods not far away from an Irish villiage, and a little green man comes out and begins making a scientific survey of the area. Unfortunetly, a drunk sleeping in the bushes wakes up, sees him, and when the alien walks nearby, he jumps out and grabs him.

"Aha! Now I got me a leprechaun! Now ye have to show me where ye keeps yer pot o' gold before I lets ye go."

The little green alien tried to explain he was no leprechaun, but the drunk wouldn't believe it, "No use try'n ta trick me. Gimme yer pot o' gold!"

The alien sighed, and led him to a tree, saying the gold was buried underneath. He then got a hand laser and carved a big "X" on it, telling the man this was so he could remember. The drunk then stumbled off to get a shovel, without so much as a thank-you. The alien then rushed to his ship, took off, and pointed his ship's laser at the trees ...

When the drunk came back, he found every tree had an "X" carved on it.


He's not dead, he's electroencephalographically challenged.

" The Truth About Black Helicopters " Sometimes the truth is out there, and sometimes the informer is "out there."

from Coffebreak


Here's a fun little tale I heard. A story of computer programming, helicopters and kangaroos...

------------

The reuse of some object-oriented code has caused tactical headaches for Australia's armed forces. As virtual reality simulators assume larger roles in helicopter combat training, programmers have gone to great lengths to increase the realism of their scenarios, including detailed landscapes and, in the case of the Northern Territory's Operation Phoenix, herds of kangaroos (since disturbed animals might well give away a helicopter's position).

The head of the Defense Science & Technology Organization's Land Operations/Simulation division reportedly instructed developers to model the local marsupials' movements and reactions to helicopters.

Being efficient programmers, they just re-appropriated some code originally used to model infantry detachment reactions under the same stimuli, changed the mapped icon from a soldier to a kangaroo, and increased the figures' speed of movement.

Eager to demonstrate their flying skills for some visiting American pilots, the hotshot Aussies "buzzed" the virtual kangaroos in low flight during a simulation. The kangaroos scattered, as predicted, and the visiting Americans nodded appreciatively ... then did a double-take as the kangaroos reappeared from behind a hill and launched a barrage of Stinger missiles at the hapless helicopter. (Apparently the programmers had forgotten to remove that part of the infantry coding.)

The lesson? Objects are defined with certain attributes, and any new object defined in terms of an old one inherits all the attributes. The embarrassed programmers had learned to be careful when reusing object-oriented code, and the Yanks left with a newfound respect for Australian wildlife.

Simulator supervisors report that pilots from that point onward have strictly avoided kangaroos, just as they were meant to.

Note: I'm note sure if this is true, or an urban legend.

The incorrect usage of 'herd' to describe a Kangaroo suggests that writer isn't too familiar with Australian wildlife ...

but it's still funny!
