Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

Dam you beat me to it haha. Was going to post that today, some funny/disappointing shit. But I see the same thing all the time too. I have a client (I took over an existing project), who requires password changes every few months, yet none of their sites use SSL and all their passwords are in clear text in the database. Oh, and there's no DMZ. The web server has full access to their corporate network.

"Superior Quality Steel connections . . "

The steel must protect against viruses. It also protects against good signal.

Can you just outright sue them for false advertising? There is no way they can prove that works.

Here's a good one from today's news:
