I couldn't help it, I found this extremely funny...

Haha.  I love finding these little gems in the topic list.  You've found the best one yet though.
On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I'll go for the tri-fecta.....

I can't do the screen capture thingy, but these three were in the following order:

For all you old salts and wannabe's  
It's An Official Emergency; Oakland CA is out of Pot  
Dixie Chicks opening for the Eagles now?


Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
