Harry Potter computer viruses
Inspired by finding a list of Babylon 5 viruses earlier this week.
Harry Potter virus: Looks like the last file of a virus you just wiped out, until you try to erase it–then it wipes your drive.
Voldemort virus: You can’t get rid of it, only make it dormant. It can be reactivated by the Wormtail virus up to thirteen years later.
Dumbledore virus: Scares off all the other viruses but never seems to actually *do* anything.
Hermione virus: Fills up all available drive space with files of useless information.
Ron virus: Contains code, some of it buggy, from the author’s five previous viruses.
Of course they’re ready!
Who needs pesky things like walls, anyway? This is California! We don’t have weather! And the scaffolding just makes it easier to get in and out of the place!
(Of course, once the new tenants realize they’re next to a swamp – OK, a marsh – maybe they’ll want those walls!)

From a can of cherry pie filling:
Hazard. Trip Hazard.
While the stage hands were setting up for the Alanis Morissette concert last night, we noticed a sign on the stage that looked like this:
As far back as we were sitting, we couldn’t read the words, (although “Caution” was obvious, and since it was next to a bundle of cables and showed an off-balance stick figure, the meaning was clear) but it stayed up during the show, and eventually the cameras caught it in the background, and we could read it.
At that point, or possibly after the end of the song, I leaned over to Katie and remarked, “You know, ‘Trip Hazard’ sounds like a good name for a band. Or maybe an action hero.” She replied: “Can you imagine Trip from Enterprise in a superhero costume?”
And there was much laughter.
What do you think’s in the burgers?
I wonder if the local McDonald’s has ever looked at their sign from a car at the nearest street corner?
Of course, it could also mean they’re friendly toward large feline customers….
Good Intentions?
We’ve been meaning to get a picture of this for weeks, but it’s tough to get while driving past. So finally we just stopped at a nearby parking lot and Katie went out to take the picture:
Ignore the abuse of quotation marks for now, and consider this: a Christian store has painted all its windows with flames.
