Why can't we ever get any of the cool stuff that gets predicted, like flying cars, trains to the moon, and ship/computers?[Edited on December 10, 2008 at 2:53 AM. Reason : yes, this was a hoax, still a funny pic IMO]

I'd like to know why this guy thought any computer would need a huge fucking wheel...
12/10/2008 2:54:06 AM
Because it's fucking AWESOME?
12/10/2008 2:55:08 AM
The text is freaking HILARIOUS
12/10/2008 2:55:44 AM
It would be awesome, but this is a known fake photo.
12/10/2008 2:56:06 AM

Well, yeah. But this guy clearly wasn't going for the awesome-factor. I mean, look at him, he's older than Orville Redenbacher.Also, LOL at the mention of Fortran.[Edited on December 10, 2008 at 2:58 AM. Reason : Fuck you, T-dub.]

Already been said, but:http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/computer.aspThis has got a few interesting ads:http://www.dvq.com/oldcomp/oldads.htm$800 calculators from 1975 that are comparable to the modern transforming calculator wristwatch in a gumball machine.[Edited on December 10, 2008 at 7:33 AM.

if its on a computer it is not a ships wheel.... unless the computer is a ship.its a computer wheel.

So, if I wore a pirate hat, it would only be a hat, unless I were an actual pirate?Bullshittery and Shenanigans, good sir.
12/10/2008 7:40:02 AM
except when you wear a pirates hat... you can't help but to imagine at least a lil that you are a pirate...so it still passes
12/10/2008 8:04:55 AM
Well when I'm turning a massive wheel on my computer, at least some part of me is going to imagine it's a ship.

It wouldn't look fake if they hadn't slapped that 1960 style TV up in the corner like that.

i think that was the first and last time that the words "Fortran" and "easy" were used in a sentence together
12/10/2008 1:08:37 PM
But fortan is easy unless you want it to do any of the things modern computers are used for.

dang, i lived in a better world when i thought that picture was real
