Here, I will collect Random Wikipedia Stuff that I found pretty funny, but isn't really worthy of sticking to other specialised humor collections.
Random collection of interesting phrases
editOr, a practical illustration on why we need context to survive.
- "Most scripting languages are oriented at banging out Web pages. This is oriented around interfaces that are highly animated."
- — James Gosling on JavaFX [1] [2] (In the series of "smart people saying embarrassing things". Yeah. Animation. We clearly need more web interfaces with animation. =)
- Unfortunately, this ultimately looks awkward as dinosaurs often stumble around and contort to wild, impossible positions.
- — Jurassic Park: Trespasser [3]
More funny stuff will come later when I find the file I was maintaining once, and remove the BLP'd stuff...
Perplexing pictures (and even more perplexing captions)
edit- "What's going on?"
Confused wolves are funny! - Infrared dogs are funny! Canid fur is goo-ood at not letting too-oo much useful heat escape, so dogs and wolves do just fine in the North! (I somewhat wonder if there are infrared foxes out there!)
- In Finnish Wikipedia, this picture is captioned "George H.W. Bush and Gorbachev in Helsinki in 1990". Politics is difficult! I would have never guessed what this picture was about without the caption!
- Can artificial objects be considered "cute"? Space Shuttle Discovery looks pretty adorable here.
- I'm tempted to put a label to my Guitar Hero controller, next to the Xbox Guide button: "This Button Starts Up Xboxes".
Yeah, it's clearly 3 AM when I find this stuff funny. - Is this decent? I... don't know an answer to that question. Is it clever? Uh, I suppose!
- "What the heck nowww?"
- "That was so funny! How did it go again?"
- "I'm a turtle. Honest. Some joker pulled the plug. Could you please re-inflate me?"
