Have you always wanted to know how to translate the hand signals that SWAT-team wannabes do on those cop shows? This sure does explain a lot.

As you probably already know, SCO is taking IBM to court in a suit that alleges that IBM has shared trade secrets regard Unix with members of the Linux community, which SCO says was done illegally. The backlash was strong, as SCO is now getting counter-sued by IBM, as well as getting sued by Red Hat.

I really see this as amusing myself, as SCO is going to get screwed by this. But I think the funniest thing I’ve seen circulating the net is a parody of the Nigerian scam that’s been circulating around the net. I copied it off Ars Technica’s site, as the version I have is riddled with the forward marks of death (“>>”). This is the SCO nigerian scam. (click continue to read the full version).

Can you guess which one? Warning: A little bit NSFW. Link from NTK.

This site asks: “Wouldn’t it be great if you could just turn in the most brutally honest version of yourself and your “duties and accomplishments” and still get a job?!” The entries on his parody resume are great! Link via BBspot.

I just have to quote this funny story:

The federal government’s do-not-call list has saved millions of Americans from pesky telemarketers, but Tom Mabe had to take it one step further.

The comedian and jingle-writer goes on the offensive on “A Wake-Up Call for Telemarketers,” his new CD being released Tuesday. Last year, Mabe traveled to Washington, D.C., for a telemarketers convention and stayed at their hotel. He waited until the wee hours of the morning ? and started dialing.

It goes on with some of his funny conversations. It looks like the CDs are available on Amazon for $14.99. That could be a funny one.

Why, they wander around and shoot things. Duh.

This is why:

Thanks to Gregg (whose job is keeping him busy, and he’s too lazy to post this) and CollegeHumor.com for the image.

Pray that he dies, that is. Link from BBspot.

Think again.

A security flaw at a website operated by the purveyors of penis-enlargement pills has provided the world with a depressing answer to the question: Who in their right mind would buy something from a spammer?

An order log left exposed at one of Amazing Internet Products’ websites revealed that, over a four-week period, some 6,000 people responded to e-mail ads and placed orders for the company’s Pinacle herbal supplement. Most customers ordered two bottles of the pills at a price of $50 per bottle.

That’s some serious cash, and the number one reason spam will never go away: While it annoys us all beyond belief, it still makes money for folks.

Take this quiz and see if you can tell the difference. It’s tougher than it looks. Link via b3ta.
