Stuff I found that was funny.
Chris notes that Theo has posted his Six Reasons PHP Sucks PHP Lightning Talk.
My favorite part:
Reason # 4: User comments on the online documentation.
Allows PHP to expose what are perhaps the worst most dysfunctional and retarded code samples.
Reason #5: PEAR.
Allows PHP to expose what are perhaps the worst most dysfunctional and retarded code…
…in an easily downloadable/installable format
If you aren’t laughing, you haven’t used PHP.

Dassi sent me the winners of the “I Look Like My Dog” contest which was sponsored by Cesar Dog Food.
Clearly these were well produced and I have a feeling that this was not a “contest” at all.
I love the photography. I love the classic portrait lighting and the matching expressions the photographer managed to get out of the models. Excellent!
“…just as I am in favor of mandatory abortions (and, of course, recreational abortions), I am in favor of mandatory embryo harvesting. Actually, that doesn’t go far enough I want to create embryos, develop them in a lab, wait until they become fully-formed 14-year-olds (which they absolutely, positively will do in the lab), then steal their organs to give to gay people as wedding presents.”

Ted Stevens gives us his “wisdom” on the issue of network neutrality:
“They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck.
It’s a series of tubes.
And if you don’t understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material…
Ten movies streaming across that internet and what happens to your own personal internet? I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

Their term for it: “Kitlers!”
I was just thinking about how microbrews and other drinks try to come up with clever brand names. How come nobody has called theirs whupass beer? The beauty is instead of bottling it, it’d be most popular in can form.
Think about it: “Pass me a can of whupass.” “Don’t make me open this can of whupass.”
If anyone ever comes out with this, remember you heard it here first. (I’d like a six-pack in lieu of the rights.)

Concerning the recent Hamden v. Rumsefeld decision:
“I’ve got to say that this decision is a decisive victory in the war to spark ridiculous right wing commentary.”

PoisonedMinds has a breakdown of time spent on modern web design.
J was working on analyzing some of our website data warehouse statistics today on Excel.
M (sarcastically): What are you doing using Excel? You should totally be using Google Spreadsheet for that!
From some random Flickr browsing, I came across an amusing description of MySpace profiles. The site I guess is a parody of “The Drudge Report” a conduit by which the right-wing field tests their latest talking points.
The article felt eerily familiar, like something I read once on a Right-Wing humor site, Buttafly (Part II in a series with this and this).
