1.
In
the beginning God created the Bit and the Byte. 2.
And
from those he created the Word. And there were two Bytes in the Word;
and nothing else existed. 3.
And
God separated the One from the Zero; and he saw it was good. 4.
And
God said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. 5.
And
God said - Let the Data go to their proper places. 6.
And
he created floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. 7.
And
God said - Let the computers be, so there would be a place to put floppy
disks and hard disks and compact disks. 8.
Thus
God created computers and called them hardware. 9.
And
there was no Software yet. But God created programs; small and big... 10. And told them - Go and multiply yourselves and fill all
the Memory. And God said - I will create the Programmer; 11. And the Programmer will make new programs and govern
over the computers and programs and Data. 12. And God created the Programmer; and put him at Data
Center; 13. And God showed the Programmer the Catalog Tree and said
- You can use all the volumes and subvolumes but DO NOT USE Windows. 14. And God said - It is not Good for the programmer to be
alone. 15. He took a bone from the Programmer's body and created a
creature that would look up at the Programmer; and admire the
Programmer; and love the things the Programmer does; 16. And God called the creature: the User. And the
Programmer and the User were left under the naked DOS and it was Good.
But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of God. 17. And Bill said to the User - Did God really tell you not
to run any programs? 18. And the User answered - God told us that we can use
every program and every piece of Data but told us not to run Windows or
we will die. 19. And Bill said to the User - How can you talk about
something you did not even try. The moment you run Windows you will
become equal to God. You will be able to create anything you like by a
simple click of your mouse. 20. And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows were
nicer and easier to use. And the User saw that any knowledge was useless
- since Windows could replace it. 21. So the User installed the Windows on his computer; and
said to the Programmer that it was good. 22. And the Programmer immediately started to look for new
drivers. 23. And God asked him - What are you looking for? 24. And the Programmer answered - I am looking for new
drivers because I can not find them in the DOS. 25. And God said - Who told you that you need drivers? Did
you run Windows? 26. And the Programmer said - It was Bill who told us to ! 27. And God said to Bill - Because of what you did you will
be hated by all the creatures. 28. And the User will always be unhappy with you. And you
will always sell Windows. And God said to the User – 29. Because of what you did, the Windows will disappoint
you and eat up all your Resources; and you will have to use lousy
programs; and you will always rely on the Programmer’s help. 30. And God said to the Programmer - Because you listened
to the User you will never be happy. All your programs will have errors
and you will have to fix them and fix them to the end of time. 31. And God threw them out of the Data Center and locked
the door and secured it with a password. |

The World according to student bloopers ANCIENT EGYPT - The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They
lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the
Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain
areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built
the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a
range of mountains between France and Spain. THE BIBLE - The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the

people who lived in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had
500 wives and 500 porcupines. ANCIENT GREECE - Without the Greeks, we wouldn't have history. The
Greeks invented three kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric and Ironic.
They also had myths. A myth is a female moth. One myth says that the
mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became
intolerable. Achilles appears in "The Illiad", by Homer. Homer
also wrote the "Oddity", in which Penelope was the last
hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was not
written by Homer but by another man of that name. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around
giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of
wedlock. In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled
the biscuits, and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral
wreath. The government of Athens was democratic because the people took
the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the
mountains were so high that they couldn't climb over to see what their
neighbors were doing. When they fought the Parisians, the Greeks were
outnumbered because the Persians had more men. ANCIENT ROME - Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Geeks. History

felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the
church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a
horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter
Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the
Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries.
Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure
because he invented cigarettes. Another important invention was the
circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a
100-foot clipper. ELIZABETH I - The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry
VIII found walking difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen
Elizabeth exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted
"hurrah." Then her navy went out and defeated the Spanish
Armadillo. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE - The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William
Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money and is famous only because
of his plays. He lived in Windsor with his merry wives, writing
tragedies, comedies and errors. In one of Shakespear's famous plays,
Hamlet rations out his situation by relieving himself in a long
soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tries to convince Macbeth to kill
the King by attacking his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a
heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miquel
Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote". The next great author was
John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." Then his wife dies
and he wrote "Paradise Regained." EARLY AMERICA - During the Renaissance America began. Christopher
Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing
about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the
Santa Fe. Later the Pilgrims crossed the Ocean, and that was called the
Pilgrim's Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted
by Indians, who came down the hill rolling their war hoops before them.
The indian squabs carried porposies on their back. Many of the Indian
heroes were killed, along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal
to them. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. many people
died and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for
all this. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION - One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the
English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their
parcels through the post without stamps. During the War, Red Coats and
Paul Revere was throwing balls over stone walls. The dogs were barking
and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the colonists won the War and no
longer paid for taxis. Delegates from the original thirteen states formed the
Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, A Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin
were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin had gone
to Boston carrying all his clothes in his pocket and a loaf of bread
under each arm. He invented electricity by rubbing cats backwards and
declared "a horse divided against itself cannot stand."
Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead. George Washington married Martha Curtis and in due
time became the Father of our Country. Then the Constitution of the
United States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the
Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms. THE AMERICAN SECESSION WAR - Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent.

Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. He also signed the Emasculation
Proclamation, and the Fourteenth Amendment gave the ex-Negroes
citizenship. But the Clue Clux Clan would torcher and lynch the
ex-Negroes and other innocent victims. On the night of April 14, 1865,
Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the
actors in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes
Booth, a supposedly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career. THE ERA OF ENLIGHTMENT - Meanwhile in Eurpose, the enlightenment was a
reasonable time. Voltare invented electricity and also wrote a book
called "Candy". Gravity was invented by Issac Walton. It is
chiefly noticeable in the Autumn, when the apples are falling off the
trees. Bach was the most famous composer in the world, and so was
Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was
very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven wrote music

long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him.
Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this. THE FRENCH REVOLUTION - France was in a very serious state. The French
Revolution was accomplished before it happened. The Marseillaise was the
theme song of the French Revolution, and it catapulted into Napoleon.
During the Napoleonic Wars, the crowned heads of Europe were trembling
in their shoes. The Spanish gorrilas came down from the hills and nipped
at Napoleon's flanks. Napoleon became ill with bladder problems and was
very tense and unrestrained. He wanted an heir to inherit his power, but
since Josephine was a baroness, she couldn't bear him any children. QUEEN
