Beginner Linux comedies!

This was left on a terminal by my sister trying to do something :)
[home@localhost ~]$ mount root in big ways
mount: only root can do that
[home@localhost ~]$ mount yourself
mount: can't find yourself in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[home@localhost ~]$ mount ok whatever
mount: only root can do that
[home@localhost ~]$
You don't need to be a linux geek to understand this!

Another break!

It seems to be quite a long time since I have been shown some mercy and given a few days of break completely (I think about an year now!). Well, as usual I am feeling that I am really jobless and tend to keep watching something on the TV or the computer all the time!
Some amusements that I have turned to this time have been the Serials! After so much criticism of the Tamil Mega Serial community, I see everyone (almost) around me watching some serial (English) claiming this to be something different! Well, Everybody Lies :P.
That must give a clue to one of the serials that I am watching. Others in the line are Heroes (frantically waiting for the latest episode to download completely) and Gossip Girl. The genres are all different giving an overall feeling of not wasted time (I have managed to find the elixir of life!)
Another important part of my life this time is the Unlimited Internet connection that I got @ home. Man, I love it! Watching so many people coming online all day with similar states as mine feels good.

Till the next blog,
xoxo

A light moment

I was reading The Metro Plus in the usual morning. I haven't noticed this column before but this joke really made me enjoy it :-) Here it goes....

In Alaska's National Forests, a tourist guide was giving a talk to a group of tourists about hiking in grizzly bear territory: "Most bear encounters occur when hikers, being extra quiet on the trails in hopes of viewing wildlife, accidentally stumble into bears. The resulting surprise can be catastrophic." To avoid this, he suggested that each hiker wear tiny bells on their clothing to warn the bears of their presence. "Also," he said further, "be especially when you see signs of bear in the area, especially when you see bear droppings."
One tourist asked, "How do you identify bear droppings?"
"Oh that's easy," the guide explained, "it's the ones with all the tiny bells in them!"
