Geek Joke

Got this in an email the other day and it made me laugh.

There are 10 types of people in the world:

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

When I say laugh, it was more of a smile...

  1. I still giggle at that one. There's also the one that goes along in the question/answer format:

    If there are only you and dead people in the world, how many people are there?

    but this is mildly annoying because my brain flesh is not up to doing the math without assistance.

    The best jokes are the ones, which demand some kind of speciel knowledge. If my wife saw this, she would only think it was a bad misspelling.

    Ever wondered what medical doctors and other specialists, make jokes about?

    That joke reminded me of a high school prank, where I'd secretly set my calculator to binary mode and amaze all my friends by showing that "1 + 1 = 10".

    OK, I was a geek in high school, too.

  2. First spotted that joke at bash.org, an archive of great snippets of IRC conversations. If you think you're a geek then you won't after looking at this site. The binary joke is here:-

  3. Hee hee. Slightly off-topic, but a mate of mine once declared his feelings to a fellow IT laydee on a Christmas card in 7-bit unsigned Octal-encoded ASCII. And they're still together!

  4. OK, you've all just convinced me to leave the field of IT !!
