Happy GatorFriday

Written by Lester Hein · 17 Jul, 2009 For Fun, gatorfriday

I love Fridays – the weekend is coming, the office has a nice excited buzz and everyone is generally in a good mood. It’s also the day I get to goof off on the net for a bit and find cool stuff for this post. In today’s GatorFriday we have aliens, Microsoft and a rabbit. Sounds like a winning combination to me

So go on, have a read, have a laugh and most importantly – have a great weekend!

DISTRICT 9 – Aliens are coming to South Africa.

I must admit that I was a little in the dark on this one. Peter Jackson (the lord of the Lord Of The Rings) has produced a movie in South Africa about alien refugees living in South Africa. From the trailer it looks half way cool, half way cheesy. I’m looking forward to seeing what the film does. District 9 opens on August 15. You can watch the trailer below.

Adele found this adorable clip of the letter opening rabbit at MIT. I think that we need to get one for the GatorPen. We just need to teach the little guy to open email without damaging our laptops

Microsoft here, can I take your order?

While I was reading The Brave Prgrammer’s blog, I found this joke about what would happen if restaurants were run by Microsoft.

You have to love and hate Microsoft at the same time. One thing about being so big and popular is that there will always be someone to take the micky out of you. Here is a light hearted look at Microsoft from a restaurants point of view. Have fun and enjoy.

Patron: Waiter!

Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I’ll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem?

Patron: There’s a fly in my soup!

Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won’t be there this time.

Patron: No, it’s still there.

Waiter: Maybe it’s the way you’re using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead.

Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.

Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using?

Patron: A SOUP bowl!

Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it’s a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up?

Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?!

Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?
