OK.......now,............dealing with the junk & carp** fouling up someone's or our own computer can lead to stress.......burnout......... & banging one's head against the wall..so........I'd like to present the first installment of little things that can remind us all.......why we bother.

-> Ghosts <- and hauntings. This will scare you.

A few more personal faves:

Googlism (where I found out that I am "not a bad person", "made from the grapes", "a mix of two categories", "an italian who grew up in london", "best viewed with the new anchor bay releasing on dvd" and "a walking advertisement for his fashion company diesel" - among tens of others)
Raw Reference Information - The Jargon Dictionary in particular (hope it's all right to post this link but it's so entertaining I just couldn't resist)
The Dialectiser
Shakespearian Insults
The Anagram Genius Server

Ghost - The Bloody Finger Mail was the perfect blend of creepy and hilarious - you know, the kind of thing that puts you off at first sight but a few seconds later you realise you just can't take your eyes (and mouse) off it.
