I saw this and just smiled… You have to read the entire story on to fully understand the big joke. Normal people are so much fun to mess with!

Zektor’s Vector Generator
This is on hell of a cool device. It lets you link up a vector monitor, that’s a TV with X and Y inputs.. Oh wait, you say you don’t have one of those? No problem, you can use a two channel oscilloscope. Huh? You don’t have one of those either? OK, well your a little low on luck, but if you look around I’m sure you can find one. If your truly hard core you could pony up the bucks and buy a classic Vectrex game system. These can be driven by the ZVG. I used to own a Vectrex… Pardon me, I get a little emotional about that. I wish I’d never sold it. Anyway, where was I, oh yeah. The ZVG takes a vector monitor and lets you run vector MAME games on it vie you computer. So you can have the stunning quality of a crisp vector display while you kick some Fuseball ass

Family Guy Petarded Chart Generator
If the Church sign generator wasn’t to you liking, maybe this one will be more your style,
In the "Petarded" episode of Family Guy, Peter Griffin does well at Trivial Pursuit and claims he’s a genius. Brian challenges him to take an IQ test. Peter is game, and the result indicates he isn’t exactly Mensa material. The administrator shows the chart on the left to explain where Peter’s result places him – on the lower end of "retarded", right above "creationists". You can make your own IQ test results by filling in the form below.
Valve’s Portal
This should make the game play a bit more fun in a first person shooter. The gun shoots doors. no, not like the gun will only blow away doors, it makes doors that are connected. Shot one makes the exit, shot two makes the entrance. See? Check the video out if you don’t understand it.
(Thank you Kevin for this link, there’s an extra clip and a med pack for you on the break room table.)
Automating Bit Torrent Downloads
Not that I’d ever suggest that one should infringe on a copyrighted work, but if your going to do it you might as well do it with gusto. This is a short tutorial on how to set up your favorite bit torrent down loader to automatically grab torrents that are hit by a filtered feed of a servers RSS feed. This is aimed at getting anime shows but I think you could adapt it to your tracker of choice. I bet if you did this and left home on a long weekend your computer would run out of drive space. That’s just a guess.
