This is the Virus, the Virus of Life

(via Joel) The Human Virus Scanner:

My results -

The virus that have infected you will be show here along with thier cures, if known.

Viruses you suffer from:

Linux
Install the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Learn to love it.
Gaming
Life is not a game. Roll 3D6. On a 4 or more go out and do something with your life.
Industrial
Everyone likes folk. No, really. Maybe you should listen to the Incredible String Band.
BBCB
CTRL-Break, and get a real computer. Repeat: "Mode 7 was not a good thing."
Sci-fi
Stop wearing the stick-on ears.
8-Bit
Polygons, all the polygons you can get are not enough.
Religion
Read "God's Debris" by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)
Windows
Try MacOS X. It's based on UNIX, it has a smoother UI than Windows and it doesn't suck.
As an extra feature the boxes look nice.
Politics
Stop caring!
Computer Games
Stop staring at the screen and get some fresh air. You should see a doctor about the RSI in your thumbs.
Ultima
If you find one tell us.

Viruses you might suffer from:

Pokemon (60%)
Pikachu! Use your hyper-electric-get-a-life move now!
USA (70%)
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! [repeat]
Junkfood (60%)
Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.
UNIX (75%)
Anything this old must be obselete. Go and install a nice modern operating system. I hear MSDOS has come a long way lately.
Discordia (60%)
Buy a suit. Invest your money. Eat hotdog buns on a friday.
vi (90%)
Escape Meta Alt Control Shift.
Brand Names (80%)
Having a well-known name doesn't make it good.
Conspiracy Theory (73%)
Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that's quite scary.
Hippyism (93%)
Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.
Environmentalism (70%)
Consume more stuff! It's easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.
Macintosh (80%)
Use a mouse with more than one button.
Prog Rock (60%)
Long hair looks dumb with a bald spot. Listen to CD's they don't crackle.

hey Jon - You got the BBCB virus too! Rock on.

Also, are you keen to see the movies Nightwatch and Serenity?

Jon said...

Yeah, that old BBC acorn stole most of my childhood.

As for the movies, I am most definately keen to see Serenity, don't know anything about Nightwatch though.

That is pretty cool... the results were fairly pointless but some really obscure images chosen.

If you haven't seen yet nightwatch is good for visuals, story is pretty bizzare (in soviet Russia...)
