    But that's just perspective then. For it still remains a joke to those that "got it" :)

    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

    Actually, I did figure out it was a joke - see the time difference between my post and Dave's - but it was too good an opportunity not to bring up a Botham reference.

      Oh I see. You do know that if you have to tell someone it's a joke, it really isn't, don't you?

      Nah, that's if you have to explain it. If you have to tell someone it's a joke, he's German.

        Actually I was a witness at a damn funny one, involving a German: My former boss/manager (half-Romanian, half-Canadian) was on a Skype conference with a collaborator/customer (German), I'll call him Martin Schneider. So, the conversation goes like this: Martin: "Hello, I am Martin Schneider" Boss: "Hello Martin, may I call you Martin?" Martin: "No :| " (total silence, everyone dumbfounded) Martin: "I was kidding" I s**t you not, this actually happened.

          Nice one. I hope that what he heard was "Do you mind if I call you Martin".

            That's just hot air, so essentially it's breaking wind.

                    Do you know that this first post about, "No, with a knife" (and I have not read others comments) is about 3 months too late?!?!

                    Eventually I will no longer be with a paranoid spouse who feels the need to check EVERY THING I TYPE ON THE INTERNET. I guess he is so busy with checking my internet crap that's why he can't do stuff for the house like take laundry out the dryer.

                      If you are saying the joke is 3 months old you are wrong, it is muc, much older than that.
