    something i got in my e-mail that i'd like to share with you people.


    Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me visit. As we were talking I mentioned having recently installed Windows XP on my PC and that I am very happy with this operating system. I also showed him the Win XP CD and to my surprise he threw it into my microwave oven and turned the oven on.

    Instantly I got very upset as the CD had become precious to me, but he said, "Do not worry. It is unharmed."

    After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said, "Take a good look at it".

    To my surprise the CD was quite cold to the touch and seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but then on the inner edge of the central hole saw an inscription. An inscription finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth.

    "I cannot understand the fiery letters," I said.

    "No," he said, "but I can. The letters are HEX, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what
    it says:

    One OS to rule them all,
    One OS to find them,
    One OS to bring them all,
    And in the darkness bind them."

    Young master Dildo is in no condition to keep this ring. You must go on a stupidly long and unsupervised journey to the land of america where this evil lord keeps his chips.
