Hey, that's cute! Where did you get the graphics from?

You forgot Ph.D. Comics for the scientific related case !! http://www.phdcomics.com/

@Peter - Hey when is dysfunctor going to be back on line? i've checked a bunch of times and still it is unwell! i was going to email you but of course have no address.

the images are from Office 2007 clip art

@rosario: those phd comics are too wordy for my short attention span... then again i don't have a phd. makes sense.

Let me suggest the ctrl-alt-del comics on http://www.cad-comic.com/. They are not 100% for it (more for gamers) but I think they should get a chance :D



'Carl' on Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:39:33 GMT, sez:

Might I suggest Scott Meyer's Basic Intructions (http://www.basicinstructions.net).

Most readers of Dilbert are maybe already aware of this one, but it can be quite amusing.

BTW, if you forget to enter the captcha word, the page just gets refreshed and the comment box gets cleared out - reinforcing my hate of HTML forms!

If I didn't like your blog so much, I wouldn't have bothered typing that last comment out again. ;o)

However, you did miss out on the intense humour/technical insight that was in the first version of the comment, because things like that are generally unrepeatable.

Carl

PS. I've Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C'd this time to make sure that no-one misses out....
