What did you expect from an angelfire page?
Anyway, it sounds rather unpleasant no matter where the fish goes.
Since you actually asked for it, I shall not be held responsible for the following link.
Now I've lost my appetite and I hope you'll lose yours, too!

Just look for a smiling dev board. Or a headphone with a pearl necklace.

My wife told me to post the solution to the 23/24 one.
They're twins. One was born at 11:55 p.m. One was born at 12:05 a.m. Today's the birthday of the first one.
But now my wife is trying to argue that the birthdate of the first one has to be Dec. 31. WTF?

Last year Al said he was thirteen - now he's claiming to be fourteen! So WHICH IS IT, AL?!

Do you remember waaaay back ... well I guess it was the sixties ... when the notion that computers could could compute not only numbers but letters! and words!!! too was radical? Can you say Fortran IV, boys and girls?
A programmer held a demonstration of this exciting technology for the press, showing off a program which filled in a crossword grid and printed out the result. Or, if it could not fill in the grid, it printed out whatever partial result it reached. One such printout showed the computer had failed to find a 3-letter word starting with G and ending with D. Of course, the headline next day was, "No God in computer's vocabulary".

Me neither. There were a couple of places it could fit, but then there'd be invalid words crossing it; maybe the bug is reporting the wrong word as invalid?

Hate to out it, but that was not a screenshot fo scrabble, it was a screenshot of Literati, a scrabble knock-off at yahoo games. From having worked there when it was developed I can tell you that you clearly do not understand how scared huge companies are scared of a lawsuit.
That is not nearly as bad as the editting we had to do to get yahoo games into china. Had to enable the profanity filter for everyone and had to add words such as "freedom" to the profane list. shakes head

That's nothing. I saw a magazine with the same chick with and without a [male fowl] in pictures in different ads -- one featuring transsexuals and one not.
Admin
The real WTF is that he only had the letters "UCCK" and therefore couldn't make "Cock" anyway, which is probably what the error message is actually about.
Actually, the real WTF is that nobody else noticed this.

The Family friendly filter works correctly, IMO. Friendly for all family members, that is. :)

Heh. Reminds me of a game in a pub years ago that wouldn't allow a player to enter his name as "Geoff". It took us a few moments to realise that there had to be some "return SWEARING if username.ends_with("off")" logic in there !

NSFW + interns? You're last name's not Clinton by any chance?

How do you get jelly on your semen?? Hill

Mine are usually UNDER my desk. What's wrong with yours?

Reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode "Bodyswap". Lister and the Cat are playing Scrabble, when Cat plays "Jsitzky" (I have no idea what the spelling was, but that's what it sounded like).
Lister: That's not a word. Cat: It's a cat word! Lister: Jsitzky? Cat: It's the sound you make when you get your sexual organs trapped in something. <mimes it> Jsitky! Lister: <incredulous> Is it in the dictionary? Cat: Well, it could be if you were reading in the nude and you closed the book too quick.

Must have been an ad for surgery.

I'd love to see you bust out the word "nigger" when your up against a black person. That would be sooooo embarrassing ;]

I cocked my head and stared at the cock I as cocked my revolver. The bird was inching toward the stopcock - clearly an attempt to distract me from the cockamamy business at hand. At that instant, however, just as I was about to pull the trigger, the fortunate bird slumped to the ground - hit solidly on the head by a shuttlecock launched with fearful velocity by my nearby associate.
It may sound like a cock-and-bull story, but it's true. And it has a happy ending for the rooster, but an unhappy one for me - no cock-a-leekie soup tonight.
Admin
i just remembered: some versions of that Scrabble game will say, "that is not a recognized word. do you want to add it to the dictionary?" someone who said "yes" too many times later complained that the game was cheating..."YOU taught it to cheat!" her friend retorted!
Admin
You could play it off the O in the bottom right corner.
It doesn't matter than "CN" isn't a word. The game (Literati on Yahoo!, not Scrabble) checked for valid words. If it found an invalid word, it let you know it was invalid. There was no point in continuing to check for additional (in)valid words if it already knew the move was illegal.
