I got this one today after a re-boot. Brilliant. Whoever at MSFT who wrote this error message should get some kind of comedy award. Letterman should hire them during the Writer’s Guild strike.

The letterman writers aren’t on strike! They did a deal with World Wide Pants (Lettermans company that produces the show for CBS).

Cam, just going on your LOTU idea, which i think is great. I was watching a classic Aussie movie called Bad Boy Bubby and there is a scene in which Bubby is talking to a Scientist about GOD and the Scientist comes up with the best explanation of why there is no god that i have heard:
You see, no one’s going to help you Bubby, because there isn’t anybody out there to do it. No one. We’re all just complicated arrangements of atoms and subatomic particles – we don’t live. But our atoms do move about in such a way as to give us identity and consciousness. We don’t die; our atoms just rearrange themselves. There is no God. There can be no God; it’s ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being. An inferior being, maybe, because we, we who don’t even exist, we arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the earth. We measure; we plot; we create wonderful new things. We are the architects of our own existence. What a lunatic concept to bow down before a God who slaughters millions of innocent children, slowly and agonizingly starves them to death, beats them, tortures them, rejects them. What folly to even think that we should not insult such a God, damn him, think him out of existence. It is our duty to think God out of existence. It is our duty to insult him. Fuck you, God! Strike me down if you dare, you tyrant, you non-existent fraud! It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence. Then we have a future. Because then – and only then – do we take full responsibility for who we are. And that’s what you must do, Bubby: think God out of existence; take responsibility for who you are.
Brilliant piece of writing and something i will be challenging my religeous friends with. Just thought you would be interested. As for the movie, it is one fucked up yet brilliant aussie film.
Cam, was watching an Aussie film the other day called BAD BOY BUBBY and there was a scene in which Bubby was talking to a Scientist about god. Its a great piece of writing and something which could be a great addition to the LOTU bible.

An awesome film and very sick and hillarious, a must watch.
Rob, that is an awesome quote. I’ve never seen Bad Boy Bubby, I’ll have to get it out!
sorry about the double up cam, didnt think the first one went thru.
Bad Boy Bubby an aussie film (1994) directed by Rolf de Heer of 10 Canoes fame and starring the brilliant Nicholas Hope.
Was shot in Port Adelaide and caused much a stir on release due to the incest scenes between Bubby and his Mother.
ENJOY!!
Thanks Rob, I got it out today on dvd to watch. Looking forward to it.
