Murdering a gag .....

Who's the domino dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SPUG!
Ya damn right!

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SPUG!
Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's lotusscript all about?
SPUG!
Right On!

They say this cat Spug is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Spug.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his granny
JOHN SPUG!

A study in idleness

I know it's cheesey to repost the old stuff but for the hell of it and for England god damit, "Can I get down now dad" presents:

Monkey Programmer Boy Retrospective: A study in idleness

Monkeys test 'hardworking gene'

From the BBC

"Scientists in the United States have found a way of turning lazy monkeys into workaholics using gene therapy.
Usually monkeys work hard only when they know a reward is coming, but the animals given this treatment did their best all the time.

Monkeys are rather like people in their approach to work - at least, those who live in a laboratory and learn to press levers for rewards of food and water."

I feel particular empathy with:

"learn to press levers for rewards of food and water."

Chutney, woof, bark, woof

Gags in Books

Some people may like it, but I find computer books that are full of gags hard work. At the moment I am reading Head First EJB and J2ME game Programing. Both are filled with gags and "ho hos" that would make Tarby groan. The Head first book triumphantly announces on its back page:

"finally .. an EJB book that teaches you everything you need to know, and keeps you laughing while doing it"

I'm sorry, interesting as they are EJBs aren't funny, infact they are about as funny as finding pictures of you mum in readers wives.

Hurumph.
