funny pictures, episode 7

It’s been a while since I made of post of just funny pictures.  Today’s collection covers a wide range of topics: Apple’s iPad, Winnie the Pooh, swine flu, how (not) to clean computers, and Glenn Beck giving weather forecasts.   So it’s something for everyone.  (Well, there’s no explosions… or bacon… but maybe next time I’ll incorporate those, too.)

Someone got their hands on a pre-release iPad Pro...
For when you just can't find enough ways to express your nerdiness...
Proof that swine flu paranoia is out of hand.
Sometimes there just isn't a logical explanation...
Gotta do something to get rid of those dust bunnies...
I'm pretty sure this voids the warranty.
When Glenn Beck forecasts the weather.

You’re welcome to share any funny comments you may have about any of these pictures.

punny names for the swine flu

The swine flu has been a hot topic in the news lately.  But the novelty of the term “swine flu” is wearing off.  And the scientific name, H1N1, doesn’t sound like much.  So some people are coming up with alternate names for it.  (I don’t know who these people are, because I received the list in a forward from Turtle Dundee, and he didn’t come up with them, either.)  Here’s some alternate names for it (beware of puns):

* Hamthrax
* Hogthrax
* Spamthrax
* Tuporkulosis
* Porklio
* Hogmumps
* The Other Yellow Fever
* Pigfluenza
* Mad Sow Disease
* Sowbola
* Sowmonella
* Spammonella
* Bacon Fever
* Whooping Oink
* Bacon Pox
* Swineal Meningitis
* Porkbelly Fever

There you go.  If you enjoy puns, this probably made your day.  If you don’t like puns, I’m kinda surprised you’re still reading.  🙂  Or maybe you already quit reading.  I did.
