Could it get any less specific?

This is a description of an error that I've read today (here):

This error is not based on any particular query construct. Also, this error is not limited to any particular database environment, to any particular amount of data, or to any particular kind of data. This error may first occur only sporadically. However, this error may occur repeatedly after the first time it occurs.

There are too many geeks around, when...

... somebody asks:

And would you pass a Turing test?

and everyone starts to laugh.

Shortest iron manual

This is the shortest ironing HOWTO I've ever heard - a friend of mine told me this when I mentioned that I hadn't used my new iron yet, since I had wanted to read the manual first (it's not that I don't know how to use an iron; I just usually read manuals):

An iron had two ends - one of them is a plug and the other is hot.
