CLINTON VIRUS:  Promises to give equal time to all processes: 50% to
poor, slow processes; 50% to middle-class processes, and 50% to rich
ones.  This virus protests your computer's involvement in other
computer's affairs, even though it has been having one of its own
for 12 years. 

FEDERAL BUREAUCRAT VIRUS : Divides your hard disk into hundreds of little  
units, each of which do practically nothing, but all of which claim to be  
the most important part of the computer.

DAN QUAYLE VIRUS : Their is sumthing rong with yor compueter, ewe just  
can't figyour out watt.

GALLUP VIRUS : Sixty percent of the PCs infected will lose 38 percent of  
their data 14 percent of the time (plus or minus a 3.5 percent margin of  
error).

PAUL REVERE VIRUS : This revolutionary virus does not horse around. It  
warns you of impending hard disk attack---once if by LAN, twice if by C:.

POLITICALLY CORRECT VIRUS : Never calls itself a "virus", but instead  
refers to itself as an "electronic microorganism".

RIGHT TO LIFE VIRUS : Won't allow you to delete a file, regardless of how  
old it is. If you attempt to erase a file, it requires you to first see a  
counselor about possible alternatives.

ROSS PEROT VIRUS : Activates every component in your system, just before  
the whole thing quits.

MARIO CUOMO VIRUS : It would be a great virus, but it refuses to run.

OPRAH WINFREY VIRUS : Your 200MB hard drive suddenly shrinks to 80MB, and  
then slowly expands back to 200MB.

AT&T VIRUS : Every three minutes it tells you what great service you are  
getting.

THE MCI VIRUS : Every three minutes it reminds you that you're paying too  
much for the AT&T virus.

TED TURNER VIRUS : Colorizes your monochrome monitor.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER VIRUS : Terminates and stays resident. It'll be  
back.

DAN QUAYLE VIRUS : Prevents your system from spawning any child processes  
without joining into a binary network.

GOVERNMENT ECONOMIST VIRUS : Nothing works, but all your diagnostic  
software says everything is fine.

NEW WORLD ORDER VIRUS : Probably harmless, but it makes a lot of people  
really mad just thinking about it.

Wouldn't this in fact be:

ln(cabin) + k, where k= -ln(c), thereby making the result:

ln(cabin/c) (Natural log cabin over the c!!)

another one:

the barium meal poo :    ( after a barium meal xray )
hits the bottom so fast you think you'll crack the bowl. fetid white in colour.
three days, and fifty flushes later, it's still sitting there, if a little
the worse for wear. only way to get rid of it is to shake it to bits with
the loo brush, and flush at the same time.

(hope it's not too close to meal time when you read this! )

This is the numer from 0 to 10 in base 1 (uses the symbol '0'):
0	- (empty)
1	- 0
2	- 00
3	- 000
4	- 0000
5	- 00000
6	- 000000
7	- 0000000
8	- 00000000
9	- 000000000
10	- 0000000000

want me to continue?
