Endless stupidity <- Learn from it (like me)

Post subject:	Endless stupidity <- Learn from it (like me)
Hmm so here I was yesterday night, copying music to my Mp3 player, then noticed, it didnt work!!!! Had to go to bed early because math exam was today. Thought about it all night... various plans popped up as to how to solve the problem except for reading the manual again. After exam, came home, didnt wash my hands/change, plugged in my Mp3 player, deleted and copied everything again, still didnt work. Still didnt pop up to read the manual since you should know by now I am an ignorant idiot. Ok, so here I am on the internet, typing up sh!t about how to solve the problem. Convert the file format from FAT to FAT again to repair some corrupt data. Still a no-go when the answer was near my computer desk. Search for player drivers, couldnt install because they were meant for Windows 98/SE -_-; Couldn't find them. Finally!! I got it!!!!! Reformat the drive!!! WOOOT! but... how? lol Search for it again, wasted more 1 hour. Then I decided to call the company, they said, "uh... yeah... so.... uh, you know... there is a format button, just hold it for 5 seconds and put keys on unlock.... same instructions are in the manual too you know." I am like "FCUK ME!" Instead of bothering to just READ the manual for 2 minutes, I relied on my idiotic not-thinking self. The manual was right beside my computer desk -_-; Could have played some good games for 1.5 hours Moral: Think before you act. Yes I am an idiot but thats besides the point. I know this off-topic post is really off-topic but the topic of the off-topic forum is to be off-topic so I posted this off-topic post in off-topic forum because its off-topic.

Here's a graph showing the relation of funniness to time while reading that post.

code:

F |
u |-
n | \
n | \
y | \
+----------------
| \
Time

Please excuse the ascii art graph. Real on-the-fly generated graphs will be in V3. But you should clearly be able to see the graph immediately flattening out (at about the time you stated that your mp3 player wasn't working (see: that post you made where you told us about the guy who spat on your mp3 player)) and then plunging downwards, eventually going into a negative level of Funny. Also note that between the times of Funny and negative Funny, there is indeed NO measurable level of funny. How this occured is left as an exercise for the reader.

this actually made me google coutsos in google images, and apparently one of the pics actually link to compsci

and then i thought, maybe i should try to google image Hacker Dan, and a very odd pic turned up (note: not PG-13)

Searching for Hacker Dan on page 12 I found this: www.compsci.ca/bbs/files/guesswho.gif, which it seems is no longer a valid URL.

There's only one "u" in there, thus, the second "o" is long. Either that or my pronunciation of "Couscous" is way off.

You wanted to be very funny and negatively funny at the same time?

ohs noes... the vertical line tests tells me thats not a function

Firefox tells me you're the only person to have mentioned function in this thread (this post excluded). It is possible to be very funny and negatively funny at the same time. An example of this is telling racist jokes. Or, not necessarily racist (as in, "I hate that race they suck!") but... poking fun. Have you seen the comedy of Russel Peters? I've been told by friends that his jokes were hilarious while others (of the same race) were greatly insulted. And they were watching it at the same time. QED.

And you still have not brought home a girl for us to meet." [/accent] "Naw mom, I bring home plenty of girls. They're just the type that leave in the morning." Heard he was in LA trying to sign a contract with Disney for his own show/sitcom. That, I would watch. He came to MAC last year - was pretty good. Apparently he came the year before as well and was better. Likely the fact that a bunch of people had tried to record his performance - and he caught them all. It was hilarious. "You think I can't see that little red light? Are you an idiot? Shut that thing off!"

Not to get off Topic or anything but Russell Peters = FUNNY. Well, he's funny if you are brown other than that you might think he is stupid. ooooo..this is the off topic forum....

He's funny if you enjoy that kind of houmour, skin color has absolutely nothing to do with it. Oh, and congrats on being brown

Hey, alot of people think I'm brown, do I get points for that? For a long time I've only ever seen his performance on comedy central and assumed that was the only one. I've never seen him on TV before (got this online). But to hear that he might get a sitcom worries me. How many funny people get their own show and suck because everyone else is a loser-nobody?

Our math teacher is chinese, he shows us his vidz for like 10 minutes every wednesday. lol. I specially like the one where he compares brown people and chinese people lol. That was hilarious. Btw, off topic going off topic but thats the purpose of it lol.

If it's any consolation, I might also be a Telmarine, but there's no way for me to know for sure just yet. OK, I made up the bit about the anime.

You really think I could look like that? OK, I'm gonna just pretend that you haven't heard of Penny Arcade before. Yes, my hair is indeed brown. People think it's black, but they're wrong. I dare any one of you to grab a strand of my hair and check the RGB values. My skin... not quite as blue as that. In fact, I'm actually white. People think I'm Lebanese (or, as Dodge says, Arab), but maybe they can't actually see my skin through the forest of hair that covers it. Oh, and I almost never walk around with a PS2 controller wrapped around my neck. NES controller on occassion, but I mostly stick to the good ol' Sega Genesis.
