That’s a funny thought…

I am rather like a mosquito in a nudist camp; I know what I want to do, but I don’t know where to begin.

… you can indeed make microwave popcorn on the stove.
FYI: Not having a microwave or oven is no fun at all!
The Keys to My Heart

The Keys to Your Heart |
| You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
| In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. |
| You’d like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful… that you’ll never change. |
| You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
| Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future… one you can grow with. |
| Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
| You think of marriage as something precious. You’ll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. |
| In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

“Hot Chick” spreads infection
Posted by PYRO in Randomness, Tech on 2/4/2005
A new computer worm is out and about. Luckily, as with most, mac users are immune. However, I thought this was humorous enough to post.
It seems that the worm Bropia.F is spreading itself via MSN messenger pretending to be some sort of scandalous image. Common names for the file are: Bedroom-thongs.pif, Hot.pif, Naked_drunk.pir, Underware.Pif, LOL.scr, New_webcam.pif, RoFL.pif, and Webcm.pif.
Users receive the following humorous image of a “hot chick”en with a bit of a tan.
Symantec rated this variant as high on damage and medium on distribution in the wild. The worm sends itself to all of the contacts in an infected users buddy list.
Bropia.F is a regular party animal, and it brings friends. It also Drops the Rbot-VH network worm and backdoor trojan horse, allowing hackers to take remote control of computers having been infected, capturing keystrokes and screenshots. A plethora of credit card and identity theft opportunities are available, heck it even lets them capture webcam footage. Also along for the ride is agabot.ajc which can perform a DDos attack on certain services.
Bropia.F hides behind the guise of a humorous photo, but it’s no laughing matter. The file size for Bropia.F is about 184 KB, and it affects Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
Yet another reminder to keep you computer up to date, not to open unsolicited attachments (even from people you know), and better yet… GET A MAC!
What Disneyland attraction are you?

Roger Rabbit’s Cartoon Spin: a wild ride through the back alleys of toontown! The only ride with a PG sense of humour in the G rated world of Disneyland, you are zany, wild, and a little bit of a loose screw. Energetic and colorful, you go at full speed, even though your taxi-car vehicles actually have four flat tires! Despite your older humor, you are a kid at heart and kids most relate to your cartoony world and like you the best. You’ve been known to make the adults a little queasy and a little bit dizzy. You leave your visitors dazed, a little confused, but more often, extremely amused. You take us to the places we’d never see in a ride featuring the straight-laced Mickey, but somehow you’re still all Disney.
