OK, so I took a few quizzes since July....
A BLUE Dragon Lies Beneath!
I took the Inner Dragon online quiz and found out
I am a Blue Dragon on the inside. If there ever was a draconic example of a supple attitude, my Inner Dragon is it.
Blues are the Water Elemental dragon - typified by their Steam breath weapon. Pretty creative, huh? It goes right
along with my Inner Dragon's tendency to maim, but not destroy. Much like my native oceans and rivers will deform the
rock over time, eventually wearing it away to nothing.
Humans shouldn't make the mistake of thinking I'm weak, however. After all I'm a good 30 feet in length and have a
penchant for materializing out of any body of water, no matter how small. I also enjoy communicating with aquatic
life-forms, hunting in totally inhospitable terrain (i.e. 3000 feet below the waves), and using my fluid nature to my
advantage. My enemies probably won't even see me approach in the first place. My favorable attributes are the sunset,
Autumn, water, compassion, intuition, and calmness. Naturally, I pity the fool who'd try and prove that calmness part,
he'd probably wind up being scalded. *small grin*
And...

After doing some comprehensive research, I have found out which muppet I am:
 | You are Gonzo! |
Aside from that, my humor remains the same, subject to change at a moment's notice. Go take the test.

After spelunking some rather strange parts of the internet, you're bound to come up withe funny things. Sometimes they were intended as funny.
Sometimes not. This page will evolve as I collect more and more entertaining items. Be careful what you click on. You never know where you'll
end up.
Whatever happened to Bert?
For the record, I want everyone at FractalCow that I miss their 'Bert is Evil' page. I always had strong suspicions about any yellow, pointy headed puppet that collected paperclips - and the removal of the material at FractalCow leads me to the assumption that Bert has good lawyers.
The Battle of the Operating Systems
For those of you who have been sleeping while the Internet started, and are reading this from the safety of your AS/400, there's been an OS war
going on. Latest events indicate that Penguins are storming Redmond, Washington (USA). Rumor has it that they have abducted an Internet Browser,
thereby crippling Microsoft from advancing their operating systems - since, as they say, their operating system is devastated without it.
Security cameras at Microsoft caught this image of the perpetrators:
Of course, this is a recent event in a long, ongoing issue that some would call monopolization (like a few States within the U.S., and a few parts of the world), but others seem to call dominion. Still others who bear the Microsoft Flag would have you believe that this is simply good business practice. Someone has gone through the trouble to document this for you in an image you can easily understand.
Meanwhile, in foreign waters, a third contender prevails over all of them. Even the Penguin feels the bite...
The latest Microsoft strategy appears to be disguising itself as a Penguin - some initiative they call "Shared Source" - yet their licensing costs
have given the Penguin sharper teeth!
Corporate IT departments are contemplating suicide or siding with the Penguin. This seems to bode well for the Penguin.
