JH: Hello. I just downloaded some illegal MP3s and my friend told me that the RAII is going to sue everyone who downloads music. What should I do?

RIAA: Hold on just a sec.

[..]

RIAA: The best advice I can offer you at this moment is to go to dub-dub-dub-musicunited.org and you can learn there how to uninstall your peer-to-peer software or file-sharing service.

JH: But I don't have a pee service. Someone just e-mailed me a song and I listened to it. Am I going to jail?

More funny stuff at RIAA pranks...

The Star Wars Kid is a 15-year-old from Quebec known only as Ghyslain -- his parents are keeping his last name secret to protect his identity. Back in November 2002, Ghyslain was goofing off at a school video studio and recorded himself fighting a mock battle with a broomstick lightsaber. Over two minutes, the video shows the lone, overweight teenager twirling his mock lightsaber ever faster while making his own accompanying sound effects.
Yes, we've all had our dorky, private moments, but this poor kid is living the nightmare of having his private dorkiness projected across the world to giggling Web users. His friends found the tape, and uploaded it to KaZaA as a joke on April 19. Within two weeks, someone had added full Star Wars special effects and noises to the tape, and the video was linked on gaming, technology, and Star Wars-related sites across the Internet. Currently There Are 28 Clone Videos on www.Jedimaster.net.

'The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord seems a funny list the first time you have a look at it, but actually it's a modern version of 'Art of War' to me. Apply it to your job if you like strategy and politics in your everyday life.

What do you get when you combine the greatest story of all with the totally shifted British humor of the Pythons ? That's right : The Nazgul who say Ni.

Engrish is a slang word for the English language phrase that arose through poor translation of another language (usually Japanese) into English, or sometimes, poor translation of English into another language followed by good translation back into English. This used to be a frequent occurrence with product manuals, which might say something like "to make speed up find up out document". If you want to find out more about Engrish, check out Engrish.com (and also for a good laugh).

This site celebrates the wonderful engrish subtitles featured in an asian bootleg DVD of Lord of The Rings - The Two Towers. Unfortunaltely, the site seems to be brought down due to a lack of humor of New Line Cinema, but now here's the incredible silly Engrish captions of the Fellowship of the Ring !

Amber is a 14year old girl who likes chatting.

Okay, you're right : there are no 14y old girl on irc, but Amber is at least a woman; she is a writer who collects her chatlogs and publishes them on her website. Most of them are just plain hilarious, eg read the one about the Dragon Worrier.

Helpdesks (or as I call them, HellDesks) stories are the most funniest stories for computer people. Tales of luser programs borken, mouse problems etc are generally a trip down to luser incompetence of working with computers. Even worse is a job where you're a technician, and have to deal with this kind of stuff yourself.

The Chronicles of George is a collection of helpdesk tickets gleaned from the support database. The author was employed there for twenty months, and during that time he had the misfortune of encountering an individual who he will call George.

George is, quite simply, the worst helpdesk technician ever.

This guy actually replies to the spam he gets . Read some of the replies and you'll love this guy's wit. The favorites, top 20, and My Buddy Kutty sections are good places to start.
