Yes, I know its mean to laugh at peoples pain, but somehow any disaster/mishap picture is hilarious with the letters FAIL emblazoned across it:

http://failblog.wordpress.com/
http://www.doingitwrong.com/
http://www.shipmentoffail.com/

And now you can get your own FAIL stamp, for office hilarity:

The other funny blog that i waste my time on is this:

Generally no pain was caused during the doctoring of these images, so its ok (not good for my english language skillz, but thats another matter).

I love the doingitwrong where the guy is chillin on the outside of the driver's window smoking a cigarette, and the car is going underwater. They had to fake some of these.

pretty sure some of them are faked (this one for example: http://www.doingitwrong.com/wrong/wrong12.jpg)

My favorite thing about the fail blog is the picture of the baby with its head stuck in the stroller. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but I think he's doing it wrong.

I really feel it's a pain to install OS for some people, especially with misleading prompt.

I haven't encountered any blue screen in my desktop yet. However, I did have a black screen several days ago. I talked to it: "please give me an alert to save my job next time". It really help! No issue so far. ;-)

http://eclipsed.net/~gr/Pictures/2007-10-18/Failbull-uncov.jpg remains my favorite one of these, because it's got multiple layers, that I won't go into again here, because I already did there: http://grumpy-sysadmin.livejournal.com/134791.html

@ccarpita: it's not really a them but a he, at least towards the end. uncov is the same folks as Persai, but the uncov posts are mostly Ted Dziuba (see also, friends with the Valleywag crew). Note: I'm colossally unimpressed with Persai, but I think the main problem is that it doesn't maintain enough source feeds as yet.

I checked out Ted's site, he has some really thoughtful and intelligent writings, but then he seems to shed a lot of that good will on Uncov, much to my disappointment.

Well, I don't really want to get too much further into it in public (and there's this hazy plan where I'll get up there to talk backups with you lot some Friday or Monday in April), but I have a feeling I know where the bad will's coming from, and I wouldn't take his write up (write down? No, wait, that's about losing money...) of Snooth all that personally if I were you.

Senator Ted Stevens talking about the Net Neutrality Bill

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f99PcP0aFNE - hat tip to RBoulanger for this one.

such pearls of wisdown as "An internet was sent by my staff...." and "the internet is a series of tubes". Best of all this dude then goes on to say "if you dont understand that..."

then what senator, if i fail to understand the tube analogy, then what? then i DO understand the net?

OK, Mark, please pass me a new internet, this one's dirty

or the techno remix: Senator Ted Stevens talking about the Net Neutrality Bill

speaking of which, I want to bring back those glass tubes that people used to deliver messages in pods around offices.

I did once order a pair of headphones that came in a box almost that big. You'd think Fedex would penalize against that. [they do with their oversize charge, but thats for epic sized boxes].

Fail blog, might be my second favorite site at this point (snooth is obviously #1, so no need to ask me that question!)
