One of the sites I have in my RSS reader is TheDailyWTF.com. The site is an absolute mine of comedy jewels. It’s like Dilbert sans the bland.1
The most recent article I’ve read is just great. As you read it, picture that the guy works at Microsoft. Lovely.

Yes, Chuck Norris Facts are dated. They’re done. They’re old hat. They’re so boring that they’re really, really boring. I know. But this is different.
I ran across this list of Mustang Cobra Facts being posted on a forum dedicated to a Chevy brand of engine, which is a bit like a list of Facts of how great the Yankees are being posted on the a Mets fan forum. Even though they’re the same premise as Chuck Norris Facts, somehow being so closely tied to automobiles makes them funny again. It’s like an inside joke for those who get it. Alls I’m sayin’ is it makes me laugh.
I’ve selected some of my favorites here; click the More link for all the facts.

NASA recently announced that all future rocket launches will be powered by 03 cobra motors If a gay man drives an 03 cobra, he comes out of the experience a homophobic straight man with a wife and 3 kids. The nobel prize was awarded to the 03 cobra assembly manual. It is possible to roast coffee beans with just the exhaust coming from an 03 cobra a block away.
Having done audio tech work before, this really made me laugh. That’s not to say I know what anything is/does in this video, just that it’s really funny. The humor just speaks to me in a special way because I’ve been there.
I get it and you don’t.
Sorry I can’t upload this directly, but here’s a link to pure musical genius. You’re Welcome.
