OT humour

[Ian Smith]

It seems like whole days since someone posted about some entirely OT
humour, so how about http://www.deadtroll.com.

I particularly recommend teh 'keep your parents off teh internet'
animation from their own site, and if you follow the links to audio,
I'd go for the system administrator song, closely followed by internet
helpdesk or how to buy a computer. There's even some homourous text
for those on slow modems...

J'know, I've never seen a better illustration that what you say is
right. I read that at near normal speed with no problems with comprehension
whatsoever!

Hi Ian

Is it possible to listen to the SysAdmin song without regestering with
mp3.com?

For anyone else - the other one (that makes sense when you look at the
site) didn't ask me to register, and I don't recall doing so in teh
past. mp3.com didn't like me at all, as it happens, so I don't know
what's there (though I have had their stuff from tehre in the past, so
I'm not sure what was up this time).

Richard, you are quite right; the only word I had trouble on was slef
because it should have been joined to it. Also shows that you tend to
anticipate the word before you read it. Let's have more of this!
