I've just finished reading "Idiots, Follies & Misadventures" by Mikey Robins, pub Simon& Schusters, 2023, ISBN 9781761107115. He has a chapter on Flat Earthers. Page 328 - Flat Out Stupid Not so much for a good laugh (OK, that as well) but as a good shake of the head at such stupidity of people at times.

I couldn't find it previously used. Yes, sexist but that's the fun of it.... isn't it? A professor of linguistics was asked by one of his students if a computer should be referred to as a "male" or a "female." With great trepidation, he decided to set up two groups of students to answer the question. One group was made up of male students. The other group was all female. After extensive study the groups claimed the following: The group of women reported that computers should be referred to as "HE" because: 1. In order to get their attention you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless. 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem. 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a newer and better model. The group of men reported that computers should be referred to as "SHE" because: 1. No one but the creator understands their logic. 2. The native language they use to talk to other computers is incomprehensible to anyone else. 3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval. 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay-cheque on accessories for it.

Gmail has 15GB free. Proton is 5GB free. We don't use Microsoft or Apple so obviously don't use Outlook.

Taking one of the given examples - Martin John Brundle (born 1 June 1959) is a British former racing driver, Yes, he was probably complacent ????? Binon is a Terran planet in the Pan System.

Anti-virus programme? What's that? I certainly haven't had one of those for decades and of course can't get viruses on my computers no matter where in the world I am. I wonder why.... maybe because I won't run Microsoft or Apple software. 😀

The cat discipline problem, this is for real, as they say. I know someone with a problem, the paper is delivered about 2.00 a.m. The cat goes out and collects it and drops it in his daughter's bedroom, possibly because she sleeps downstairs and he is upstairs. "How," he asks, "can I get the cat to take it to my bedroom?"

Peter Christy's cartoon (no beds) isn't a joke it is real life. 😒 Christopher Wolfe's cartoon is from New Zealand and isn't a joke, it is real life. leccyflyer's pothole, one area in New Zealand that isn't a joke either and as for smashed wheels, how many do you want? Finally, Harry's book and interviews, anyone asked how much money he is making from all of this? And that's no joke either!!!! 🥶

The only two that officially are 's and the only two that should be found that way on maps of New Zealand.. New Zealand Geographic Board (part of LINZ), established 1926 replacing Geographical Advisory Board that had been set up in 1924. it is responsible to the Minister for Land Information. Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) is the public service department of New Zealand charged with geographical information and surveying functions as well as handling land titles, and managing Crown land and property.
