Programmer jokes:
Really, im sorry to say (or am I?), im not a programmer in any way shape or form. I took first year programming in Python and enjoyed it, but didn’t want to go any further because i dreaded the prospect of becoming a computer programmer, sitting in a cubicle all day crunching code. These jokes still pique my interest however, since i know enough about computers and programming to find them amusing.
A joke such as:
Programming is like sex:
One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.
or
These two strings walk into a bar and sit down. The bartender says, “So what’ll it be?”
The first string says, “I think I’ll have a beer quag fulk boorg jdk^CjfdLk jk3s d#f67howe%^U r89nvy owmc63^Dz x.xvcu”
“Please excuse my friend,” the second string says, “He isn’t null-terminated.”
I still find these highly amusing, in a guilty sort of way.
Even More Programmer Jokes
Deep Sea Creatures:
I have always been fascinated by the denizens of the Deep. These crazy looking creatures elicit fear and wonder in everyone who sea’s them (sorry). I am always interested in these creates that we know almost nothing about.

Shit that people should know but dont:
Ok, really, this has been known for a long time but for some reason everyone just chooses to ignore it and not teach it to ANYONE else. Static stretching is actually BAD for your muscles. Why did no one tell me this when i was swimming on my highschool team? Why not when i was running track in highschool too?! They either just didn’t care how we did, or were completely oblivious to the truth. The fact is, “normal” static stretching actually weakens your muscles! You have to have “active” stretching to warm them up and get them ready.
Flash games:
Really, i have spent (read: wasted) countless hours of my life playing these ridiculous games that have poor graphics, non-existent plots, and just cause eyestrain and sore wrists. XKCD wrote a webcomic on it.
Newgrounds is one of the worst places for it, as they often resize the games so that they are smaller and even harder to play, although, props to newgrounds for being an awesome site.
Or you have a basic site like Strategy Flash Games that could potentially Eat your entire life.. Om Nom Nom, its silly really.
Computer Secrets!!:
Such as Hiding Files in Pictures which is Fucking amazing, really,if you are a security nut this is crazy. For example, take a porn picture, use this method and hide your secret files in it, then encrypt it using something like AxCrypt, IF someone manages to brute-force their way past your encryption they find a porno picture that they assume is all that you wanted to hide. You could even take it one step further. After encrypting the file you could change its extension AGAIN so that they have to change it first to the encryption program extension to decrypt it, and then brute force it, and then decide to examine the picture closer. If you are even MORE paranoid, you can use THIS method to hide them even deeper. And there are many other ways to hide files as well.
