MOTD

As many of you may know I am obsessed with what the school servers give me as my Message of the Day. This all started when I logged into server at work one day and it told me "Be careful when biting into a hamburger". As it turned out Matt and I went to dinner that night with Jay and Nina to The Dubliner, where the only item worth ordering off of the menu are the hamburgers. However, I just couldn't bring myself to eat a hamburger, since I was clearly warned not to do so earlier that morning. Ever since then I have been recording interesting MOTD's that I encounter when logging into school servers. The day I received the message "You've been leading a dog's life. Stay off the furniture." I was extremely lazy and spent most of the day lying in bed watching movies, until I read the message and had to get up and do something. I haven't encountered any messages that were as good as the one involving the consumption of a hamburger, but here are a few others I thought were interesting:

12/12 - Be careful when biting into a hamburger.

12/14 - You've been leading a dog's life. Stay off the furniture.

12/19 - Bliss is ignorance.

1/24 - Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

1/25 - When I said "we", officer, I was referring to myself, the four young ladies, and, of course, the goat.

1/27 - Be ALERT! (The world could use more lerts)

3/4 - Hear about the Californian terrorist that tried to blow up a bus?
Burned his lips on the exhaust pipe.

3/7 - Q: How many Bell Labs Vice Presidents does it take to change a light bulb?
A: That's proprietary information. Answer available from AT&T on payment
of license fee (binary only).

3/7 - There was a phone call for you.
