Correct Answers

I had this idea for some time now, but I never bothered to draw it. However… here’s my strip, titled “Correct Answers”:

…I did my strip in 10 minutes with bitstrips.com.

First!

It’s a state of mind.

Supernatural for Linux users

 I bet you guys have a hard time figuring out how it works with woo-woos. Here you have it black on white. If a woo-woo would be a sysadmin, they would do more or less:

$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=i-believe bs=1 count=$RANDOM
18676+0 records in
18676+0 records out
18676 bytes (19 kB) copied, 0.172968 s, 108 kB/s
$ chmod 755 i-believe
$ ./i-believe

And voila! All the work is done!

Please protect this area from dust

For those who want to charm their Polish builders, there’s an informative article on how to do that.

Being a native Polish speaker myself, I’ve found a sophisticated amendment done apparently by the person who translated the original English sentences. Original phrase number seven is:

Please protect this area from dust.

However, the Polish translation has this one tiny yet important addition:

Please protect this area from dust and beer.

Now, that’s a thoughtful translator!

UPDATE: Michał suggested that it wasn’t beer, but phonetically spelled dust. He’s probably right. I’m keeping the entry anyway, to remember this funny misreading

Keep Behind This Line

You can find this sign on every DART station:

The sign tells us to keep behind the yellow line, that’s fine. We all know that behind is opposite to in front of, right?

Now, I would like to present you an algorithm of finding the correct side of the yellow line:

1. Get in front of the line
2. Cross the line to get behind it

People who live in Ireland

The latest poll taken by the Government asked people who live in Ireland if they think Polish immigration is a serious problem:

23% of respondents answered: Yes, it is a serious problem.
77% of respondents answered: Absolutnie żaden. To nie jest poważna kwestia.

(translator)

Personally, I think that it in fact is a major problem, but not for Ireland. It is a major problem for Poland.

Looking like toys

You can best see it on the large version.

Those cars are real, but they look like toys.

Why?

Are you human? Prove it!

Imagine someone sending you an IM message and saying that you're a robot. Prove that you're not! Sounds easy?

Operative mortality

Let me tell you a joke.

There was a hospital that had only one patient and the patient had died. The authorities asked this hopital to report its mortality.

“What is your mortality?”
“We have 1% mortality.”
“But you had only one patient which have died! You should have 100% mortality!”
“Yes, but we have operated him 100 times!”

Maybe this sounds funny, but this is how EACTS and STS report the mortality.
