What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Copied and pasted from various sources without references.
One source is here at CP: .NET Performance Tips & Tricks[^]

[EDIT]
He claims that he has posted the article long time ago on the MS Technet. So others may have copied from him. But I'm not able to find that Technet article and the above linked CP article is from 2006..

Found it meanwhile: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/26715.asp-net-development-and-deployment-best-practices-and-solution.aspx[^]
But that is dated 2014-09-15 which is not long time ago (he actually said "long before"). Accoding to the time he has been here (since 2003) I expected an older article.

Result: A clear case of plagiarism.

I don't think it's a failed spam, because he already posted questions[^] before which did have a very similar content, including those links, but they didn't show as clickable links because he put it into a code block. He probably just forgot about that this time*. See this older question: How do add transition elements to my homepage?[^]. Also the fact that he accepted answers and commented[^] on answers (in a polite way) makes me believe that he's not a spammer.

* I edited his question and put it into a code block.
