In observance of National Recycled Humor Day (tm), here's another one:

"Why Computers Sometimes Crash", by Dr. Seuss. {Be sure and read it out loud for extra silliness :}

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort,
and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an
error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window
in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's
hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button
on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by
the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your
icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot
and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions is
causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and
then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (the actual AP headline) Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego,
was visiting her inlaws, and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed,
with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while
became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she
looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the
back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour. The man called the
paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her
hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on
the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise
that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached
back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially
passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone
noticed and came to her aid. And, yes, Linda is a blonde.

I saw this tested on a show about urban legends. You can get a can of biscuits to explode but it
needs to be over 140F for about 20 minutes in the car.
