Because it is really funny.

Because it is really funny.

Yeah, I gotcha on that. It's just, there's something beyond 'it's really funny' for me.

[Graham Kennedy]

It's Superfunny! Megafunny! Hyperfunny! Transfunny! Isofunny! Quantum-funny!

Sorry, I came over all Star-Trek-Writer there for a moment.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I actually put that comment up at work (which has a lot of programmers), and several people just looked at it while saying "I don't get it".

So instead I wound up putting:
There are three types of people. Those who can count, and those who can't.

It doesn't say three, it's two. In binary 01 = 1, 10 = 2, 11 = 3. Which is why it make sense. It reads "There are 2 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't." except it's in binary.

Yes. The concept is that people at a programming company didn't understand binary.

Mine is a different joke.

So I see...

A Russian couple walks down a street in Moscow when the man feels a drop hit his nose.
"I think it's raining," he says to his wife.
"No, that feels like snow to me, dear," she replies.
Just then, a minor communist party official walks towards them.
"Let's not fight about it," the man says. "Let's ask Comrade Rudolph whether it's officially raining or snowing."
"It's raining, of course" Comrade Rudolph says and walks on.
But the woman insists, "I know that felt like snow."
To which the man quietly says, "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."

Any more like that and I'll have to tell the purple knight joke... and, trust me, nobody wants that.

This makes me think that either Ian is on psychedelic drugs, or I am.

[Graham Kennedy]

That's a veeeery British joke!

Two nuns in the bath.

One turns to the other and says "Where's the soap?"

The other says "Yes, it does. doesn't it".
