This thing:

is the funniest shit I've read this week. Incredbile... truly incredible.

Just to get you going a bit:

8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?
BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.

Adequacy and Segfault used to be the big humor sites back in their day. Thankfully the stories are still archived for all to enjoy.

I remember the mild controversy that arose from Adequacy posting a joke article urging the metal band Anthrax to change their name following the 2001 anthrax attacks.

This reminded me of an episode from that '70s show, when Eric's mom was reading a pamphlet called 'is your johnny high'. Had a good laugh, thanks. +1
