Windows ME was a great worse distro, nearly as bad as Slackware.

Slackware isn't a version of Windows, though. It's a horrible brand of, erm...Macintosh.

The key aspects of Combustible Linux got backported into the kernel. That's why today almost all Linux distributions are Combustible. Don't believe me? Simply install it in your fireplace from the CD.

Tarmac is where you put planes down on. OK, that or the Hudson. And combustibility has its root in quantum. Unless you believe the world as we know it is mounted on the back of a giant Gnu.

How do you know it's being "held up" in the first place? What is "up"?

Perhaps the world is carried in the pouch of a giant Kangaroo. Which would also explain why when we look out into space, it all looks black and why we can't see the Kangaroo! Clearly, if the world was carried on the back of a giant Gnu, then we'd look out and see the back of the Gnu's head (or possibly the other end of the Gnu).

Simples.

This continued nonsense proves my belief that satire is generally ineffective. Now to write some more nonsense (which is much better than satire)...

Tarmac? I thought you thought he was thinking of gazpacho.

Obviously, the kangaroo is invisible because it's part of the world and therefore inside its own pouch. And why do you capitalize "kangaroo?" Kangaroo Akbar.
