bash.org

I'm not sure how relevant this it to our class discussion, but it's very fun and interesting. And it's probably relevant, on some level.

http://bash.org

A quick word of warning, there are no content filters on this site, and much of the humor is very crude and is possibly offensive. You're reading it at your own risk, even if at my recommendation.

I introduce you to bash.org...one of the most amusing websites on the internet. What is it? Well, the short story is that it's a quotation database. But not just any quotes. All the quotes are formed online, in IRC, chatrooms, or where ever people happen to be discussing things. Most of the quotes are cases of cleverness, idiocy, or just amusing excerpts of conversations that various people online are having. If you've ever read the phrase "Aight, I put on my robe and wizard hat" online, you're witnessing quote number 104383 in action. This quote is in the top 100 bash quotes, and it's somewhat of an internet phenomenon. The top 200 quotes on the page are all pretty funny, even when you're reading them for the 8th time.

I'll leave with one of the milder quotes from bash:

[Thumb] do you know of any major organizations that are similar the CDC?
[Lucent] who?
[Thumb] center for disease control
[Lucent] i said WHO
[Thumb] what? i'm asking you
[Lucent] World Health Organization
