Or its sister ship, the USS Monica L.

That's also full of seamen.

"...how could they tell this one wasn't from the real BofA?"

Because a genuine one would have rather more lies in it than that.

Yup, plenty of scientific evidence for Supervolcanoes. Likewise asteroid impacts. Also plagues.

So there are three possible disaster scenarios with actual scientific proof. Which one was ridiculed?

Who did you have in mind who might have been holding their breath underwater for over a month and thus still requires rescue by divers?

Which can then be dug out in short order to regain access to the untouched goodies within. Presumably said goodies are worth the effort and risk, as there wouldn't have been much point in putting 'em in a collossally expensive hardened bunker deep underground otherwise.

You need to knock out the bunker and its contents, not just block the door for a few days.

God alone knows WTF you did there.

There are no drive level shares exposed to the network from my installation and I certainly didn't do anything during the install to prevent it.

You'd think so, but when you actually go and look you'll find he's not there.

"...superb regular updates..."

Odd. I went back to ATI about four years ago on the back of an interminable series of godawfully buggy driver updates from Nvidia.

Have they finally shipped something that desn't go titsup at the drop of a hat?

All well and good, until your router gets nicked for impersonating a Police van.....

You can be as funny as you like, just remember that they have the great-grandmother of all punchlines available to trot out on demand.

The full body cavity search, conducted by a deliberately careless and very pissed-off bloke with fingers like Walls' sausages.

"It might have ice beneath the regolith..."

That's handy. They *might* be able to get back then.

Now there's an idea for Pedigree petfoods.

Whiskas PETA activist flavour. Contains 80% real PETA activist, chopped into bite-sized morsels and coated with a thick gravy.

I liked the warnings that it was flammable when loaded and hot after firing.

We have an icon for that sort of thing.

Given who owns Motorola Mobile these days, I rather suspect they'll be one of the sharper OEMs at shipping the updates in future.

"I imagine the Android and iOS fans are going to say something....."

The iOS fanbois should STFU. The Urban Dictionary defines "crapp" as: "An 'app' that is downloaded from the app store for the iPod Touch or iPhone that is total crap.".

So on that platform they even have a bloody word for it.

It wouldn't be a problem for them, here's why:

Apply type: "Good morning and welcome to Apple support. How may I help you?"

Mug punter: "I've upgraded my iPhone and now the battery doesn't last long enough to make a phone ca...........<CLICK>"

Apply type: "This upgrade is working wonders for our call response times........"

Ah yes, the cuttlefish. Prompted one of the best "D'oh" moments ever (you know who you are...):

Mate: "Cuttlefish? They change colour you know, like a chameleon."

His Girlfriend: "No they don't, they're black."

M: "WTF are you on about?"

GF: "I've seen 'em, they're black. Have you ever seen one?"

M: "Where did you see them?"

GF: "On a dockside in a big plastic bin full of water."

M: "What colour was the bin?"

GF: "Black."

M: "And what's the best colour to be if you want to hide in a black bin............?"

<Sound of penny dropping>

"However, boo to Apple for trying to make this standard."

Don't you mean: "Hurrah to Apple for patenting this, ensuring that nobody else can do it and thus ensuring it can never become a standard?"

Give me a big enough bloody stick with nails in it and I'd be prepared to have a go.

"....$2.5 per month per twitter follower."

Well they said it was an "industry standard". Presumably this means that some manager, better equipped in the smarts department than most, once asked if his company's 140-character bullshitting campaign was worth it and a PR flack pulled the figure out of their arse.

Ask your manager if he really thinks that the correlation between people who spend hours playing Farmville and people who have loads of cash to spend on your products is really that high...........

With the Beeb's record it was probably a repeat of Play School......
