Microsloth joke book (Berkeley Humor/Computers)
Authors: David Pogue.
Paperback, 128 pages

Reviews :

    Q: How many Microsoft programmers does it take to write a great piece of software? A: More. You've read all the headlines: Microsoft Bids to Acquire Catholic Church and Windows 95 Ushers in Era of World Peace. You've bought all the software--even took out a second mortgage to buy it. You've installed all 45 disks of the latest Word program. And you've made 45 tech support phone calls to get it to work. Now what? Cry? Give up? Before you go Microsoft in the head, try laughing instead! The Microsloth Joke Book ...offers countless megabytes of Easy Install humor that storms the Gates and smashes the Windows of the world's biggest software company. Includes hard-copy files on * Windows 95 horror stories from Shakespeare to Captain Kirk * Bill Gates at the Pearly Gates * the first-ever Microsloth infomercial drinking game * the ten DOS commandments * songs * light bulb jokes * and much more. No Installation Required! No RAM Required! Sense of Humor Version 4.0 or Higher Required ...

    Who in computing doesn't like to pick on Microsoft now and then? (Other than Bill himself, that is.) Here's a book full of some of the funniest jabs ever thrown at the software giant. There are the classic forms, such as the light bulb jokes ("Q: How many Microsoft testers does it take to change a light bulb? A: We just notice that the room is dark. We don't fix the problems.") and standard stories. ("Bill Gates dies and sees St. Peter....") There are also riffs on popular culture ("What if Star Trek computers ran on Windows 95?"), spoofs of Microsoft press releases, a clever parody of Microsoft's marketing program written in the C programming language, and the story of Genesis told as if God were running creation on a PC. But Microsoft isn't the only company The Microsloth Joke Book pokes fun at. Intel rouses its share of laughs as well with the company's famous Pentium flaw. The book features a hysterical script based on 2001: A Space Odyssey where HAL runs with a Pentium chip. ("HAL: You must think I'm a fool, Dave. I know that two plus two makes 4.000001. Make that 4.0000001.") Although The Microsloth Joke Book is a slim volume, it's big on laughs....

The Joy of Smoking
Authors: Skip Morrow.
Paperback, 58 pages
Publisher: The Ink Group
Publication Date: 2000-09-01


Reviews :

    The Joy of Smoking is a collection of humorous illustrations about smokers who will go to almost any lengths for a nicotine hit. The book succeeds in tickling the funny bones of smokers and non-smokers alike, as it broaches the subject of tobacco addiction.

Instead of villifying or humiliating smokers, these images hilariously portray the stupidity of the habit in such a way that tobacco addicts can't help but laugh at themselves as they consider, or shall we say reconsider, their behavior. But smokers are not the only targets here--watch out tobacco media advertizers!

The Joy of Smoking's non-verbal presentation appeals universally to people of all cultures and ages....

Bitch Unleashed Revised!: The Harsh Realities of Goin' Country
Authors: Nola Lee Kelsey.
Paperback, 200 pages
Publisher: Dogs Eye View Press
Publication Date: 2008-01-09


Reviews :

    A wicked, gut-wrenching, satire for despondent urban refugees, flabbergasted backyard farmers and devotees of evil mirth.

Over 1.6 million people moved to rural communities during the first five years of this decade. Several stayed. This delude of the diluted continues - reinforced by dozens of regional and national periodicals presenting sanitized `country chic' to millions of armchair rednecks.

Satirist Nola Lee Kelsey leaves no stone unburned as she recounts the 'joys' and harsh realities of her own attempt(s) at settling into the so called, Simple Life.

Includes:

The perks of global warming

Handy uses for honey-dipped Chihuahuas

Tips for removing bats from your showerhead

A pop quiz on the myth of the country gentleman

Guerrilla techniques for alienating your country neighbors

Readers don't need to live in the country to satisfy their craving for some fiendishly good humor.

New Technology Automatically Authenticates Document Copies; Coded “Stamp” Verifies Copy is the Same as the Original; or, if Altered, “Stamp” can Recreate the Original
Almost like magic, an emerging technology to confirm that a paper copy is a true and accurate depiction of the original will soon be available. This new technology scans a document and creates a unique authentication “Stamp” that is printed on either the face or the back of the document. Confirmation occurs when the document is re-scanned and the coded “Stamp” is matched to the document image. [PRWEB Jun 25, 2005]
