You may have mentioned this already...but am I an idiot???
Lewis Black is one of my all-time favorite comedians. He does a great bit about the stupidest thing he'd ever heard. It won't ruin it for you if I say this so I'll tell you what it was. "If it weren't for my horse, I never would have spent that year in college." It's such a dumb statement that it will cause you physical pain in a day or two.
I bring this up because tonight I ran across a similar statement in an online forum. I'm pretty sure this is one of the dumbest statements I've ever read. It points out the fact that not everyone understands the difference between written and spoken word and has grasped the nuances of each form of communication. The line is
"You may have mentioned this already - What distro of Linux are you using?"
Seriously, you can't scroll up and read all of the previous three comments to answer the question for yourself? If only there were some record system in these forum things so I can hear what people said when I wasn't on my PC!
I read it on this page, while doing some vmware troubleshooting. It'll blow your mind and cause blindness within the hour.
