Ah, the memory of being expected to use ed (or vi I can not remember) to maintain documents written in GML.
And of course politely refusing and rewriting them using whatever came with OS/2 instead.

I'd say "Aye!" ("i") but only engineering students would get it, the mathemetician's would be confused / incensed.

Do different colour paints have specific smells? It could be blue paint travelling towards you at approximately 247000000mph.

Only 1 kitten was harmed in making this observation.

Reminds me of a joke from my childhood:

P1: How do you shoot a blue elephant?
P2: I don't know
P1: With a blue elephant gun. How do you shoot a red elephant?
P2: I don't know
P1: With a red elephant gun. How do you shoot a grey elephant?
P2: With a grey elephant gun?
P1: No, you tie a knot in its trunk, wait for it to go blue, and shoot it with a blue elephant gun.

Also

Q: What's brown and sticky?
A: A stick

I don't get the pic itself. But it's well known that USB-A ports have 3 states - the initial quantum state that doesn't fit in the socket so you have to rotate it, then the Up state where it doesn't fit in the socket and so you have to rotate it, and then the Down state where it actually fits. silly

So maybe it's something to do with that. Or maybe it is a pop culture reference that I don't know

edit: Sorry to be nerdy but whoever created the pic is an idiot, because they may have removed the USB logo in the middle pane to try to indicate rotating the plug but the plug isn't actually rotated if you look at it
