First up, if your Windows PC presents a screen like this photo I found on Ask The Admin when you try to start it up, something isn’t right.  But if you look a bit closer you’ll see that it’s really quite a bit more abnormal than it appears.  Or should I say, abngrmadl?

Second, Something Awful took Wolfram Alpha for a spin this week, just like the rest of us, with some humorously informative queries.  Humorous because they start off by asking what portion of the US Gross National Product is represented by the film Ernest Goes to Camp and just get stranger from there, and informative because they illustrate the sort of data sets Wolfram Alpha has access to.  Fair warning: Something Awful contains material of questionable taste and may not always be appropriate for work or children.  There’s nothing too awful in this one, though.  You can read the complete story here.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

On with the funny!  I’m going to take some time on Fridays to share the best of those things that I’ve found on the nets that have made me laugh.  This week, we have a remix of those Slap-Chop advertisements you may have seen on cable TV complete with auto-tuning a la T-Pain or Kanye West.

If you haven’t seen the original, you can watch it here.

Also great for Grandmas and Stepmoms!

Another thing the web is good for is humor, and the best jokes come with their own call centers.  Happy Mothers Day!
