A Chrome Extension That Does Nothing
Since it was first introduced, Google Chrome has been my browser of choice. So, when version 4 was released, I was particularly pleased to see the new extensions feature. When I went to view the extensions gallery, a particular entry stood out from the rest:
This extension does nothing.
Right there among the top rated extensions, I found one that did nothing:
When I viewed the details about the extension, it became obvious that many people were fueling the joke by adding supportive comments. Still, you see glimmers of confusion every now and then.
The last comment is my favorite.
Yahoo! Answers: Coughing With Your Mouth Closed
Yet again, I was looking for some information online, and I found this ridiculous question and answer.
"Can u cough with your mouth closed with out any thing happening?"
While difficult to take seriously, Yahoo! Answers does at least offer a good laugh.
The Wall of Cookies
Back in June 2008, I invited a friend of mine to an Iron Maiden concert here in Montreal. Since he lives in Nova Scotia, this meant that he’d be staying at my place for a few days. Over the years I’ve known him, it was very clear to me that he really enjoyed cookies… so I thought I should be equipped for his arrival:
The cabinet was almost completely full – each package you see in the photo had another identical one right behind it. Needless to say, we didn’t finish all the cookies – I had to give them away to friends and family.
Powerful Mail
A friend recently sent me a package – I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it:
I wasn’t home when this package arrived, and that meant the mailman had to leave note informing me that a package for “Refghi Power” would be waiting for me at the local post office. When I went to get it, I tried to contemplate how I would prove that I am “Refghi Power”, as all my IDs claim I’m “Matt Refghi”. Also, keep in mind that mostly everyone around here speaks French. Thankfully, the guy at the post office laughed and said he got it.
Yahoo! Answers: Suing Facebook
I was genuinely trying to find out if there was a way to have certain pictures of myself removed from Facebook, until I found this comedic gem:
Can I sue Facebook for putting my pictures on the Internet?
I like how all the others answers were, for the most part, completely correct – and yet the chosen “best answer” is ridiculous.
