Shameless plug

Post by RavenousBugblatterBeast » Wed Dec 03, 2003 7:49 pm

I finally got around to making a gallery of my postings to b3ta.com. Experience a warped British sense of humour here.

On an unrelated note, I'd recommend spybot to all Windows users. It scans for and removes spyware/adware, and alerts you if you are about to unwittingly install any it knows about. It also detects and closes some privacy / security holes in the default settings for IE / media player. And it has the oddest licence agreement...

Yes it was. I love you Britons and your wacky humor. *huggles*

Spybot and Adaware are a wonderful pair. I wonder what the record is for number of things found in one run? I finally ran them both on my parents' computer and Spybot alone found ~500 items. 8O

I gotta say that I'm English and a lot of that stuff isn't so funny ;)

It's not the best representation of English humour. Too many kittens for a start :|

One of two I didn't get aswell.....

No, its just HTML & Javascript.

Many aren't funny if you don't read the b3ta message boards - they are very into kittens and bandwagons (everyone posting variations on the same theme).

90% of the jokes I saw went right over me then I gave up and stopped looking.
Because, since you don't know me, there is a great possibility that I'm on an higher intellectuel level then you are on.

everyone knows kittens are cutest - for humor however nothing beats the Animal Kingdom Komedy Trifecta: cows, chickens, and monkeys.

although i did find the star wars one hilarious ;)

Personally I found the apparent complete randomness of many of them rather humorous.

Mwa. Mwa-ha. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa.
