We all have moments of poor judgment, even presidents. Yet, somehow, when it shows up on YouTube it is funny. Now if it just had the Benny Hill music.

A brunette, a redhead, and a blonde were on their way to Heaven

A Stairway to Paradise
Originally uploaded by ClaraDon

A brunette, a redhead, and a blonde were on their way to Heaven.

God told them that the stairway to Heaven was 1000 steps, and that on every 5th step He would tell them a joke. He told them not to laugh at any of the jokes along the way or else they would not be able to enter Heaven.

The brunette went first and started laughing on the 45th step, so she could not enter Heaven.

The redhead went next and started laughing on the 200th step, so she could not enter Heaven either.

Then, it was the blonde's turn. When she got to the 999th step, she started laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" God asked. "I didn't tell a joke."

"I know," the blonde replied. "I just got the first one."

For the geeky crowd, we proudly present One Div Zero: A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages: "A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages".
For example

1972 - Dennis Ritchie invents a powerful gun that shoots both forward and backward simultaneously. Not satisfied with the number of deaths and permanent maimings from that invention he invents C and Unix.

Not quite how I remembered it, but true none the less.
Read the entire list for a humorous if inaccurate walk down memory lane.

Straight No Chaser - 12 Days

Random Garfield

I got this from Eagle_Fire.

...so this guy noticed that Garfield comics make just as much sense if you throw random panels together, and sometimes are actually pretty funny. He got a cease and desist letter. So he made the code available for people who wanted to try it for themselves. Here we go!

Dead Parrot sketch is 1,600 years old

In an article we learn that the Dead Parrot sketch is 1,600 years old.

A classic scholar has proved the point, by unearthing a Greek version of the world-famous piece that is some 1,600 years old.

A comedy duo called Hierocles and Philagrius told the original version, only rather than a parrot they used a slave.

It concerns a man who complains to his friend that he was sold a slave who dies in his service.

His companion replies: "When he was with me, he never did any such thing!"
