An engineer goes into his manager’s office. The manager is holding something in his fingers.
“What do you have there?” says the engineer.
“Something that looks like plastic, but feels more like rubber,” says the manager. “Let me have a look,” says the engineer. The manager hands it to him.
The engineer says, “Hmmm. This is interesting. It’s sort of solid, but sort of viscous too. Where’d you get it?”
The manager says, “Out of my nose.”

As you may remember, we had a couple of powercuts on Tuesday that took out a HDD on my NAS (all fixed, and files rebuilt now).
Well, a week ago, we had a letter saying there would be an interruption to the supply last Thursday between 6:15 AM and 6:30PM - or that's how I read it, and what I planned for. Turns out my wife is better at reading that me, as she spotted it was 6:15AM to 6:30AM - which is a pretty big difference.
Anyway, the Postman has just been and we have another letter, about another interruption to service, this time next Thursday.
Now, I've read this, re-reading it, and checked it again. And it definitely says "between 6:00AM and 6:01AM". 
I don't know what they are going to do in sixty seconds, but I'll stock up with batteries, just in case!

I could be a grammar Nazi, but I will leave that role to someone else.
Here's a hint: There, Their. They're not the same.

So naturally the largest Norwegian newspaper said: "Netherland crushed Germany 5-1" on the front page[^].

No way! Holy crap, do they really not give a sh*t about football or is it a Freudian slip?

You mean that they wanted Germany to lose? Might be, or more likely is that the person didn't care at all

I'm curious about the thought process that goes into posting a massive wall of text, followed by a sketchy as f*** link on a site populated by fairly technical people.
Do they really expect people to visit their website and buy their muscle enhancement crap?
Any insights?

No - it's about links to his site affecting google search result position.
Popular / important sites linking to his site should boost it, so if anyone is searching for any of the terms in the junk text, it should get his link pushed up and clicked on.
See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank[^] - though I don't think it's strictly relevant any more.

More common is: "I was once a lazy depressed person etc". I took x or did y and now I'm uber successful.

"...I switched it, I took the negativity and ditched it!!!"
Yeah, right. So...if you are so successful, why are you giving cr@ppy talks to morons in a village hall and trying desperately to flog your branded sh*t?

Is this some new policy decision you made based on Quote: "...I switched it, I took the negativity and ditched it!!!"
