Centre de Recherche on Donkey Testicles

Google’s new Code Search feature is good news for software developers who want to avoid reinventing the wheel by finding an existing solution to a problem. It’s even better news for software developers (or anyone else for that matter) who are bored on a Friday afternoon and want to look up some rude words.

A couple of my favourites to date, hidden deep inside the source code that powers the world’s computers:

Searching for testicles
# FrSIRT 24/24 & 7/7 - Centre de Recherche on Donkey Testicles.
# Free 14 day Testicle licking trial available!

Searching for bollocks
A note: the CTCP protocol sucks bollocks. If I ever meet the fellow who
came up with it, I'll shave their head and tattoo obscenities on it.

But the best ones combine swearing with technical jargon in a way that is almost poetic, for example:
/* this is one of the fucking FPU tables out of the 00-BH range */
/* did I mention how much I hate Intel? Fucking wankers... */

Did Tennyson ever come up with such purity of expression? Did Wordsworth? Did Ayres?

I think not.

Kicked In The Nuts!

If you hate You’ve Been Framed! then you’ll love Kicked In The Nuts!

Actually, people who love You’ve Been Maimed! will like it too but for different reasons.

Blogrot Tip of the Day: Don’t miss the sequence at the funeral parlour in Episode 2.

Beware Monsters!

Back away, Spielberg. Hang up your spurs, Scorsese. Go back to the day job, Meyer. For there is a new kid on the block, and his powers are awesome.

And from the DVD extras, here’s a behind-the-scenes shot from the set:

CANCER OCCURS WHEN WE EAT OUR OWN FLESH

According to Jesus.

Ooh! Chimpanzee that!

The Way We Do ItBLOGROT RECOMMENDATION OF THE WEEK!

It’s what we’ve all been waiting for: animated Monkey News! I swear you won’t see a better animation of a chimp on a building site this year.

There’s more from the same stable at stinkywinkles.com (my new favourite website address), or the monkey news is also included in the free Ricky Gervais video podcast.

High-Class E-mail

God, I wish I’d though of this: Millionaires24.com is an exclusive e-mail service for the super-rich only. The feature set includes both sending and receiving e-mails (whatever they might be), at the bargain price of just $399 per month. You also get one of a “limited” batch of “just 10,000″ chinless.wonder@millionaires24.com addresses with which to impress your chums and prove once and for all that you’d pay top dollar for cat shit just as long as it had been dipped in platinum first.

Coming soon from bitrot.net: FreshAirUnbreathedByProles.com…

The most serious threat to the internet today

…is, as with most other things, plain old stupidity.

Jobby

Following on from the entertaining Web 2.0 site or Star Wars Character? quiz, blogrot it pleased to announce a brand new feature:

Web 2.0 or Euphemism for Poo?

The way of the exploding solo!

That's MISTER Fastfinger to youI’ve recently discovered Mr.Fastfinger and am still trying to work out exactly what he does. I think if you press the right buttons he teaches you how to play wibbly-wobbly guitar solos in the style of Slash or Yngwie J Malmsteen, but I haven’t made it past the Mountain of the Tapping Dwarves yet.
