That’s right - the reason why the server slows down has finally been explained!
Aha, aha! I always knew it was something foolish like that!
Makes sense.
That has got to be the freakiest-looking hamster I have ever seen. Why does he have chicken feet?
That’s not too far from reality. 
Remember, every time you post, God kills a hamster.
Please, think of the hamsters. 
Ok, slightly OT, but did anyone else read any of the other comics in that strip? It’s very…weird. Some of them I just don’t get. Like, there’s a guy falling down a hill, and the caption says, “Chuck falls down the hill again.” Wha?
And yes, that hamster DOES have chicken feet. Strange.
That looks like one juiced-up hamster. I’d bet if that critter were powering things here the board would move quickly.
We should all chip in for some gerbils, aren’t they faster then hamsters?
Hey!!!
that’s my hamster! No wonder my 'puter’s gerbilled!!
The SDMB hamster has been under a lot of strain lately.
The poor little blighter can’t even rest in the wee hours of the morning when the board goes “down for maintenance.”
He steals off into the night to vent his frustrations with an ærosol bomb.
I think the gag in that one is that there’s a “flattened grass” path right next to him, like the one he’s leaving now, showing that - ha! - he’s just fallen, and now he’s falling again under very similar circumstances, and he already fell once. Oh, my sides.
The caption makes the humor redundant, really.
I thought about gerbils but you know in a year those things would be obsolete. We should just go all out and pick us up a guinea pig. I mean look at the tech skills on this one.

This looks like me.
The rest of them were rather un-funny.
Feh. Ferrets are more suited to this board.
Or maybe bunnies:)
