Geek Theology

In the beginning, God created the bit. And the bit was a zero.

On the first day, he toggled the 0 to 1, and the Universe was. (In those days, bootstrap loaders were simple, and “active low” signals didn’t yet exist.)

On the second day, God’s boss wanted a demo, and tried to read the bit. This being volatile memory, the bit reverted to a 0. And the universe wasn’t. God learned the importance of backups and memory refresh, and spent the rest of the day (and his first all-nighter) reinstalling the universe.

On the third day, the bit cried “Oh, Lord! If you exist, give me a sign!” And God created rev. 2.0 of the bit, even better than the original prototype. Those in Universe Marketing immediately realised that “new and improved” wouldn’t do justice to such a grand and glorious creation. And so it was dubbed the Most Significant Bit. Many bits followed, but only one was so honored.

On the fourth day, God created a simple ALU with ‘add’ and ‘logical shift’ instructions. And the original bit discovered that by performing a single shift instruction, it could become the Most Significant Bit. And God realised the importance of computer security.

On the fifth day, God created the first mid-life kicker, rev. 2.0 of the ALU, with wonderful features, and said “Forget that add and shift stuff. Go forth and multiply.” And God saw that it was good.

On the sixth day, God got a bit overconfident, and invented pipelines, register hazards, optimising compilers, crosstalk, restartable instructions, microinterrupts, race conditions, and propagation delays. Historians have used this to convincingly argue that the sixth day must have been a Monday.

On the seventh day, an engineering change introduced Windows into the Universe, and it hasn’t worked right since.

Titswiggle

There was once a woman who owned a dog that she named Titswiggle.

One day when she came home from work she discovered that her beloved dog had run away.

She was out all night asking if anyone had seen a loose dog.

Nobody had seen him that night but the next morning she met a little boy who said that he had seen a stray dog. The dog he described matched hers exactly.

Upon finding out this information she asked the young boy, “Have you seen my Titswiggle?”

Then the boy said, “No, but can that be my reward?”

Est�n tomando unos luchadores en

Est�n tomando unos luchadores en una cantina y de pronto un mesero joto (homosexual) se acerca a no de ellos y le dice:

“Qu� brazotes, d�jame tocarlos.”

Y el luchador le dice, “T�calos, para que veas.”

El joto dice, “Qu� piernotas, qu� espaldota, �me dejas meterte una llave?”

El luchador le contesta, “No, c�mo crees, no puedes conmigo.”

“S�, s�, d�jame meterte una llave.”

Tanto estuvo insistiendo, hasta que por fin le dice el luchador, “Andale pues, m�teme una llave.”

Y el joto sin inmutarse le mete una llave en la bolsa de la camisa y le dice: “Cuarto 201.”

Why are they called buildings,

Why are they called buildings, when they’re already finished? Shouldn’t they be called builts? Why are they called apartments, when they’re all stuck together? Why do people without out a watch look at their wrist when you ask them what time it is? Why do you ask someone without a watch what time it is? Why does sour cream have an expiration date?
