Shamelessly grokked from the latest Dilbert newsletter:
The United States is having a presidential election involving a number of confusing things such as issues, platforms, and electoral votes. As a member of the DNRC, you know that this is an elaborate scheme concocted by the Founding Fathers to protect voters from the embarrassing realization that they always elect the candidate with the best hair.
So true, so true…
From the moment I heard about the government’s new leafleting campaign, I knew something like this would appear.

Anderson Consulting in San Francisco is liquidating its operations and auctioning off its stuff.

Geek humour:
“The `#pragma’ command is specified in the ANSI standard to have an arbitrary implementation-defined effect. In the GNU C preprocessor, `#pragma’ first attempts to run the game `rogue’; if that fails, it tries to run the game `hack’; if that fails, it tries to run GNU Emacs displaying the Tower of Hanoi; if that fails, it reports a fatal error. In any case, preprocessing does not continue.” — Manual for the GNU C preprocessor for GNU CC 1.34.
