Humour: A Thanksgiving parody

Posted in Humour by GenSephyr on November 29, 2008

Saw this comic in one of my Google Reader feeds. It was posted on All Things Digital and first published by Geek Culture’s Joy of Tech. Its a Thanksgiving parody by Nitrozac and Snaggy. I actually found it quite interesting even though it was drawn up 2 years ago… Hope its not too distasteful to some….

Humour: 365 Days not enough for Students To Study

Posted in Humour by GenSephyr on October 17, 2008

Received this via email.. Thought it was quite funny…

Quoted verbatim from the email:

It’s not the fault of student if he/she fails. Because, the year ONLY has 365 days…

Typical academic year for a student:

  • Sundays – 52 Sundays in a year, you know Sundays are for rest.
    Days left 313.
  • Summer holidays – 50 where weather is very hot and difficult to study.
    Days left 263.
  • 8 hours daily sleep – 130 days GONE.
    Days left 141.
  • 1 hour for daily playing- (good for health) means 15 days.
    Days left 126.
  • 2 hours daily for food & other delicacies (chewing properly & swallowing) – means 30 days.
    Days left 96.
  • 1 hour for talking (man is a social animal) – means 15 days.
    Days left 81.
  • Exam days – per year at least 35 days.
    Days left 46.
  • Quarterly, half yearly and festival (holidays) – 40 days.
    Days left 6.
  • For sickness – at least 3 days.
    Days left 3.
  • Movies and functions- at least 2 days.
    1 day left.
  • That 1 day is your birthday.
    How can you study on that day ?!?!?!?!?!

Balance = 0
So? How can a student pass ?????

Haha.. Hope that loosens some tense shoulders.. now time to get back to studying!!… :P

Humour: New Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge Device

Posted in Humour by GenSephyr on August 11, 2008

Just for Laughs… I saw this in a forum and a library joke website…

Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge device, otherwise known as the BOOK.

It’s a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It’s so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just lift its cover. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere — even sitting in an armchair by the fire — yet it is powerful enough to hold ass much information as a CD-ROM disk.

Here’s how it works: each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. These pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a binder which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence. By using both sides of each sheet, manufacturers are able to cut costs in half.

Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. The BOOK may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The “Browse” feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward or backward as you wish. Most come with an “index” feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.

An optional “BOOKmark” accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the exact place you left it in a previous session — even if the BOOK has been closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards; thus a single BOOKmark can be used in BOOKs by various manufacturers.

Portable, durable and affordable, the BOOK is the entertainment wave of the future, and many new titles are expected soon, due to the surge in popularity of its programming tool, the Portable Erasable-Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language stylus (a.k.a PENCIL)

Humour: ERP

Posted in Humour by GenSephyr on July 28, 2008

Its been a while since I’ve been to STOMP’s Singapore Seen

Well, I guess the ERP, and the constant increases to it price does not totally disappear from everyone’s mind. We just accept it because we can’t seem to do anything about it.

Quoted verbatim from Singapore Seen:

STOMPer AN and his friend, Wolverman, imagined what Singapore would be like with the ever-increasing number of ERP gantries and came up with these tongue-in-cheek pictures.

I do find these photoshop images are very creative….

ERP at urinals

Humour: Toilet Walls of Wit

Posted in Humour by GenSephyr on May 24, 2008

Saw this pasted on a toilet wall:

He who writes on bathroom walls,
wraps his shit into little balls.
He who reads these walls of wit
is the one who eats these little balls of shit.

There are actually lots writings in that toilet.
But the one above is the only one I remembered.
Haha. I guess, even the toilets have made it to the list of entertainment places.

Oh, I almost forgot…. After that, I was talking to a friend, and the following came up:

Aim when you piss,
Look where you piss.
If you don’t do either
you will get the cleaners pissed.

Don’t think it’s as “catchy” as the one I saw, but it definitely has the theme right.. haha :-)
