Geek Joke
A co-worker of mine says he saw this on a t-shirt, and, being that a lot of what I do is digital engineer (not here, obviously), I found it pretty funny: There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't. If you can't count to thirty-two on one hand, you probably won't get this. UPDATE: Here's the link to that t-shirt. Wait a second; why am I linking to other t-shirts? Don't be a geek; but my t-shirt. Also, in the same vein (vain? vane?), here's another geek t-shirt I think I remember once hearing about: 100 bottles of beer on the wall. 100 bottles of beer. You take one down, pass it around, FF bottles of beer on the wall... 43 Responses To "Geek Joke"
Are you going to rename your top ten lists the "Top 00001010 ways to..."? Because that would be really, really cool. Im serious, it would. #2 - Posted by: Tim on February 4, 2004 04:17 PM"Top 0A List" would be cooler. Man, that would rock! #3 - Posted by: Frank J. on February 4, 2004 04:32 PMUh, Frank, I may be missing something, but you CAN'T count to 32 on one hand, you can only count to 31... 16+8+4+2+1=31, and that's all 5 fingers... have the muckadoos gotten to you? #4 - Posted by: Brian on February 4, 2004 04:42 PMBrian, I saw a t-shirt that had the imaginary number symbol i with a "don't" sign on it. Right below it said 'keep it real' #7 - Posted by: math girl on February 4, 2004 05:05 PMTrue geek story. Some geek friends and I were at a bar, and one guy started counting in binary on his fingers. Oh, and slightly cooler guy was also well known for his softball shirt. We got to pick our own 2-digit number for the team, and he picked "FF" #9 - Posted by: J Mann on February 4, 2004 05:29 PMOn the Simpsons episode where Lisa joins Mensa, Comic Book Guy had a shirt that said: C:/Dos it'd be geekier if it went from 100 to 11 bottles of beer, just cause the geeks would have very little beer my way. #11 - Posted by: Elliot Temple on February 4, 2004 05:35 PMSign from Futurama (which I now have on DVD): 10 HOME Don't forget the robot church: 10 SIN By the way-- one of the best IRC quotes from bash.org (go there if you don't mind the next hour of your life being completely wasted-- hit the "Top 50-100" links): #14 - Posted by: Brian Tiemann on February 4, 2004 05:59 PMHoly crap, there are dorks everywhere... Actually, I had a buddy in college who was a physics/electrical engineering double major with a t-shirt that said "What part of (big ass equation I couldn't possible transcribe) don't you understand?" #15 - Posted by: Rob on February 4, 2004 06:52 PMFrank, if God hadn't meant for us to use and understand binary numbers why did he give us 10 hands (with A fingers), 10 eyes, 10 ears, 10 feet (with A toes) and more importantly 10 testicles? Bwah-hah-ha-ha-ha-ha .... #16 - Posted by: Allan on February 4, 2004 06:54 PM"Sign from Futurama (which I now have on DVD)" Season 3 comes to the U.S. in March. Everybody buy it! #17 - Posted by: Chris D on February 4, 2004 09:15 PMI own and occasionally use an honest-to-God slide rule. #18 - Posted by: Phil Winsor on February 4, 2004 09:16 PMChris, Phil, Silly geeks, the answer is 42. #20 - Posted by: Monster Kabasue on February 4, 2004 10:12 PMRob, I've seen that shirt before, and I believe it was an equation relating energy and the various parameters of an electromagnetic wave. Some friends and I will soon be selling t-shirts at our school that say EDU>>die matlab #21 - Posted by: Cpt.Dysentery on February 4, 2004 10:16 PMI wore one at the place I sue to work (and had a sticker on my laptop) that said "Bow before me for I am root". Some people didn't quite get that until I looked at some of thier code on my system and fixed it for them :) (after they complained that my system was broken and wouldn't believe me that it was their code not working). I also have one that states "I read your e-mail" but since I worked at a doe/dod govt lab at the time it wasn't worn to work, some of the security guys didn't have that good of a sense of humor. #23 - Posted by: strcpy on February 5, 2004 01:00 AMI thought it was 31 on one hand? #24 - Posted by: procopius on February 5, 2004 01:08 AMDear Frank...hhhhuuuuunnhhhhhhh? Left brain hurts now. Bad Frank. Must go back outside and stare at BIG orange disk in sky...again! #25 - Posted by: paveblue on February 5, 2004 01:32 AMthere's no place like 127.0.0.1 #26 - Posted by: moridin on February 5, 2004 01:51 AMMy personal favorite (on account of I'm a Tolkien geek): "Do not meddle in the afairs of sys admins, for they are subtle and quick to anger." Big Dog, I want that blogging shirt. #27 - Posted by: Good-Natured Cynic on February 5, 2004 09:11 AMFF isn't 99 in hex, 63 in hex is 99 in decimal #28 - Posted by: Dan on February 5, 2004 09:48 AMHolloween is Christmas, because Oct31 = Dec25. #29 - Posted by: Mythilt on February 5, 2004 10:00 AM"Everyone buy it so they put it back on the air like Family Guy (which I also own)." My thinking exactly. In fact, everybody should buy extra copies for all of their friends, loved ones, and that wierd guy that's always at the mall. As an added bonus, I don't think Al Gore is in Season 3. To quote Zapp Brannigan, "I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies." #30 - Posted by: Chris D on February 5, 2004 11:43 AMActually Zapp didn't say that, he wrote it down for Kif to say it. My mistake. #31 - Posted by: Chris D on February 5, 2004 11:45 AMFrank, think radixially. (radical, I know.) #33 - Posted by: Mythilt on February 5, 2004 12:50 PMMy husband Brian once wrote me a love poem in Java. I think that tops your geekness. Passion++; hln #34 - Posted by: hln on February 5, 2004 01:12 PMFrank, I realized that like 15 minutes after I posted it and got around to thinking about it again...apparently I need to brush up on my computer engineering skills again #35 - Posted by: Dan on February 5, 2004 03:02 PMMy favorite (engineering) geek joke. Time for a chemistry quote: " If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate." How we all laughed. Also reminds me of putting up a slide in front of some telecoms nerds where I'd inadvertently put a small "m" instead of a big "M", meaning a milli-something instead of a mega-something. Those bastards slapped their thighs til the blood ran. Unfortunately I'd left the safety on. #38 - Posted by: bugbear on February 5, 2004 06:27 PMVeeshir, > Just use no fingers up to mean 32. Geez.. Frank, so you can't tell the difference between 32 and 0??? That would explain a few things... #40 - Posted by: kp on February 6, 2004 03:12 AMA friend told me this one right after 9/11: rm -r /bin/laden #41 - Posted by: Vitamin Tom on February 8, 2004 03:43 AMHmm, so far: And this was how the new king of blogs was born Post a comment
