    Yea, but I was trying to verify that the replies to my comment would actually be what your comments were. Victory is mine.

    What are Frubes? It's made by Yoplay so it's probably yogert. Is this how British spell Fruit maybe?

    I don't know what it is but I don't think I want to eat one.

    It's also labeled "Petit i filgus".

    Is this latin for "Fill's you with poop"?

    Frubes are yoghurt in a tube. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1240/1427616568_a8c0da3efa.jpg?v=1190554553

    Popular in childrens lunchboxes, they have been around for years.

    Oh, they call that GoGert or something on this side of the ocean.

    Does the "Go" in GoGurt imply a laxative effect. In that case it would actually be "Empties you of poop"...

    This one is rubbish. Not. A. WTF.

    A poorly-worded question is just bad use of English, and does not magically become a WTF simply because the words in question are written on a website instead of a piece of paper. Are we going to get screenshots of every goddamn typo and piece of bad grammar on the whole internet? That's going to get real boring real fast.

    The first one reminds me of websites that require you to enter phone numbers "without dashes or spaces". How hard is it to modify your program to remove non-numeric characters? Surely no more difficult than testing to see if I followed the rules, and then opening a dialog box to tell me I put a dash in my phone number.

    I've recently filled in a form that had an annoying message "Please use ONLY uppercase letters" for every single field. I wonder if these weird things don't happen only because some technical directive for example "do not modify user entered content". The developer is not necessarily stupid, this might be a result of inflexible policies and fear of doing the right thing regardless.

    Doesn't your car's windshield have Quicktime and a TIFF decompressor? I thought all windshields since 1998 were web- and quicktime-enabled.

    Hey, that gives me an idea for a new product: With web-enabled cars and all-digital instrument panels coming out, I need to develop a product to send spam directly to your instrument panel. So you can be driving down the highway and offers for Rolex watches from Nigeria or whatever will appear in place of your speedometer.

    Thank you sir, for making my day. If I would have had a beverage in my mouth I would most certainly have spilt it all over my keyboard.

    Mountain Dew for me. Luckily I covered my mouth so most of it went down my shirt and up my nose while I was scooting back to where the Mountain Did could find its way to the floor.

    Anyone else think it's strange that the drive to laugh increases while we're in pain, or when we can't breathe? Maybe that's just me... Perhaps it stems from my memories of laughing incredibly hard while my mammoth brother chased me down, tackled and beat some good, old fashioned religion into me. I always laughed hardest just before the hilarity was exorcised. Oh, the miracles he performed! Yeah, someday there will be poems written about him... perhaps I'll start them when I finish that "suit" I've always wanted.

    ... Pardon me, have you seen Precious? Where did he go...

    eBay STILL does that!

    Complains about your double quotes in your listing and makes you go find them.

    Captcha: uxor

    It means "Universal XOR". If you use the UXOR operator, it XORs your variable with EVERY OTHER VARIABLE IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM! And then again, bitwise, with the string "l33t".

    Mebbe it just means "suxor"... As you "you are not l33t. you suxor!
