this didn’t strike me as being Cafe Society-worthy, but i still may have guessed wrong. mea culpa, mods, if that’s the case.
Husband Mine and i were talking after dinner today, and the conversation drifted from work to computer users to computers. somewhere along the line we started coming up with ridiculous things to do to the computer – or perhaps more accurately, ways to make the software do ridiculous things. some ideas that struck us as being pretty darn funny:
o when the Help button gets clicked, instead of an information screen you get the sounds of someone screaming for help.
o having Clippy morph from his obnoxious paperclip self into a tapeworm.
o clicking on Help get responded to with an R. Lee Ermey-esque bellow of “WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION?!?”
o the animated Clippy, while going through his usual obnoxious little schtick, will at random intervals subtly morph into a fanged, frightening creature that snarls at the user – but changes back so quickly that you may not be sure you actually saw it.
o (and for the uber-geeks) clicking on Help will bring up Tux the Unix penguin.
so. anybody else have some amusing ways to mess with the software (or even better, the user’s mind)?
