AOL is still around?

I'm still trying to get my parents to get rid of AOL.

Or a radio show on NPR which routinely features weird news stories. And Mo Rocca.

I showed my dad Firefox and he was confused about how you could get on the internet without having a screen name.

///I, on the other hand, steal my neighbor's bandwidth

I once brought my office laptop home and worked for half a day before I realized. The enthernet isn't plugged in, and I don't own a wireless router.

Wish they would have given a warning about the Tree/Bark Man and the Two Faced/Four Eyed Baby.

Pretty gross.

My folks already have high speed internet. I'm trying to explain why they don't have to pay twice.

18/23. My New Year's resolution should involve getting a life.

The "Tree Man of Java" story is one I missed.

Now I sort of wish it had stayed missed.

Ug.

If you got more then 50 percent of those answers correct, then you need to take a moment and think about how bad your life sucks.

I discovered the free internet in our last apartment when I was trying to rid my missus' laptop of some malware and spyware, and while working was told that Windows were downloading upgrades.

The next day, I had a Pringles can wireless set up for my tower, until I could afford my own line. Kept the can around for a back-up solution if there ever was an outage on my line.

Wow, those pictures really spanned a wide range of topics, from animals born with the wrong number of body parts, to humans born with the wrong number of body parts.

I've not been on fark for long though, so I think I did pretty well.

3. If you're in Windsor, Ontario, but would rather be in Detroit, which direction should you head?

Towards the closest insane asylum.

FTFA: ...to a corn flake the shape of Illinois netting millions on eBay

Millions of what? It netted $1350.

subjunctive: if only there were a website...

Sometimes I hate my mother for drilling grammar and usage into me. At least I can remember to never split an infinitive.

14/23, but I guessed most of them.

shadowself: Millions of what? It netted $1350.

Millions of milliseconds of attention probably.

Wayyyy sad given that there were only about 5 guesses. 3 were wrong.

Also I'd like to note that this test is way easy. Just pick the most crazy thing and you are right most of the time
