This apparently originally came from a technical blog but the source was not named where I saw it. It's a translation of a technical error window into what the average computer user sees in their mind when they read the technical warning. I think we should start incorporating these sorts of warning's in AE, and probably in AAR's as well.
Hoyvin-Glayvin! [:D] I thought we were the only household bizarre enough to use that epithet!
I sent this to a client yesterday. They told me to Launch Photon Torpedoes. You can expect the banking system to crash sometime today [;)]

Football, (that is real football!!!!), has a back judge, a side judge, a field judge, a line judge, an umpire, a head linesman, and a referee. They are studying the need for a swimsuit judge.
Well, they could re-employ some of those basketball referees who were forced into retirement when they got rid of those silly old uniforms.

All Things Pondered. This thread has been quiet for a couple of days. You'll never catch the Thread if you stop pondering. The Thread might claim the count has been reset once or twice. But, it's the score on the board that matters. Increment this thread by one. That's what I pondered today.

What so you are saying re the first turn:
They are not at the end, they are not at the beginning of the end. But they are perhaps, at the end of the beginning? [:D]

No. I think he meant to say that an "Iron Curtain" has fallen on the first turn and we cannot fathom what is underway on the other side.

That's right, it's not the end of the beginning, but the beginning of the end.

I am not sure you have even gotten to the beginning of the beginning yet. [:'(]

Now this is not the beginning. It is not even the beginning of the beginning. But it is, perhaps, the beginning of the prelude.

It is the start of the initiation to an overture of a beginning of a prelude.

On another off topic thing to ponder: there are more airplanes underwater than there are submarines in the sky

Many a pilot has decided to teach their plane to swim. I am unaware of any boat captain that even attempted to teach their sub to fly, except maybe that one in "Red October".
On a more serious note, since coppers have night-sticks, what are they supposed to do during the day?

They are supposed to use harsh language.

No, no - they have now renamed the stick as a "baton", so during the day they either conduct with it or have a pretty girl spin it around and throw it in the air to distract the evil doers.

Use a gun? Or a TAZER? Or in the UK yell "OI!". [:D]
