If you're going to go down that route, 10 can represent any number depending on the base you choose. The only way it's funny is with binary.

Hold on there a minute, are you saying the original joke is funny?

Whaddya mean? It comes second only to the <Two fish in a tank, one says to the other "How'd you drive this thing?"> joke...

Two birds sitting on a perch. One of them says to the other "can you smell fish?"

...and then of course there's the cannibals/clown joke.

That took me longer than it should have to work out

A woman carrying a coffin walks into a fish and asks the barman "Excuse me, do you do drive through weddings?".
The barman (who is a horse), shakes his head and replaies "No Madam, I think you are in the wrong plaice."

(Surreal, but not much funnier than the binary gag.)

Let's keep it to geek jokes please. There's a whole other thread for normal, unfunny jokes.

Surely the only thing necessary for a joke to be a geek joke is that it's told be a geek?!

If you are one of the people in the lower-right pane, you will nod knowingly. If you are one of the people in the upper-right pane then don't worry about it. It's not something you can 'get' by someone explaining it.

Or worse, somewhere in between when you still naively believe unix timestamps are your saviour

Is this an appropriate juncture to mention microfortnights and femtofurlongs?

Probably, I recall there was a VMS Sysgen parameter that was measured in uFortnights, but don't remember what it did.

The xkcd is quite apt. I remember working on a bug where we eventually realised an embedded system would crash roughly every 26 days, which was when the top bit of the system time value became set, and all the timer arithmetic fell on its arse...

Shush. I live and die by epoch time.

A couple of years?



Christ, it was 2010!

Where the hell did those 13 years go?
