Random Riddle

Fire
Hold your mouse over for the answer.
You may enjoy me on a summer’s night,
While other’s prefer to fight.
In many people’s homes, I am generously fed
Unless I show up uninvited.
I never stop being hungry
and consume anything that lies before me.
In fact, I am hungrier after I ate than before.
Striking me will only anger me more.
People create me.
But they won’t let me go free
Terror I often bring
For I can destroy almost anything
Many people need me to live
For the many things I give.
Although I can show you your way
You can only hope where the end of my path lay
What am I?

Random Riddle

The four jolly men are members of an orchestra hired to play at a dance.
Hold your mouse over for the answer.
Four jolly men sat down to play,
And played all night till break of day.
They played for cash and not for fun,
With a separate score for every one.
When it came time to square accounts,
they all had made quite fair amounts.
Now, not one has lost and all have gained –
Tell me now, this can you explain?

Dr. Seuss’s Technical Manual

What If Dr. Seuss Did Technical Writing?

Here’s an easy game to play.
Here’s an easy thing to say:

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted ’cause the index doesn’t hash,
Then your situation’s hopeless, and your system’s gonna crash!

You can’t say this?
What a shame sir!
We’ll find you
Another game sir.

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
‘Cause as sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy’s getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc,
Then you have to flash your memory and you’ll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!
