My semi-conscious stream of consciousness

So I turn 20 on Monday, August 30 2010. And it just dawned on me that in 3 days, I will no longer be a teenager… How am I supposed to whine about how hard my life is and how my parents just don’t understand me?! Oh wait, Facebook. Nevermind.

Oh, it slipped!

I was greeted with a rather humourous email this morning. I was added to the contact list of drawbelly on Flickr. Curious of who this person was, I went to see their profile and saw that they had over 2,300 contacts. Then I began to read the names of these contacts, and saw something very funny… every single person was either named Richard, or had Richard somewhere in their name.

Honestly I don’t know whether to be honored or to be scared, but either way it’s very humourous.

Check out his contact list yourself if you like.

Edit: Seems this guy is no longer active on Flickr.

I just received a very humorous email hoax chain letter from one of my co-workers. Funny not because of what it describes, but because of the language it uses.

Here is an example of the type of language they used:

It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer!!!!

And:

This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.

Okay wait, those two statements, which are describing the same virus, are very contradictory.

The first quote, is insinuating that the virus will destroy all data on the partitions of the hard drive, sectors 1 through n. However the second quote insinuates that the virus destroys sector 0, otherwise known as the Master Boot Record, the sector of the hard drive located before the partitions which tells your computer what to boot to. How can it destroy the partitions and the master boot record, since they are completely different things?

I love emails like this, especially how they try to use fancy terms to make people think they are legit.
