Our Creative Space... and a Joke


Today our creative job will be mostly photoshopping pictures of new items. And as it is April 1st today I found a funny computer joke, I guess most of you know Dr. Seuss wonderful books.

What if Dr. Seuss was a technical writer? Here are several examples of what he may write to help you resolve your computer problems:

-If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

-If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!

-When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc, Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM. Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Fun and Love


As today is April 1st and I'm not good in jokes I found some funny things on Etsy:

Twilight Zone, Fabric Journal with painted Eye by Kreativlink
Grey Moustache Disguise by Lupin
Give Me My Medicine from our shop
So You Think You Are Having A Bad Day.... photograph by HocusFocus

We didn't wake up with a bad joke but my Treasury ended up on FP and that was a good reason for a smile...


And an even bigger smile gave the amount of hearts, past the 9000, of our shop, it sure feels nice to be loved :)

April Fools' Day


Still a good joke - 51 years on

On April 1, 1957 the British news show Panorama broadcast a three-minute segment about a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland. The success of the crop was attributed both to an unusually mild winter and to the “virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weevil.” The audience heard Richard Dimbleby, the show’s highly respected anchor, discussing the details of the spaghetti crop as they watched video footage of a Swiss family pulling pasta off spaghetti trees and placing it into baskets. The segment concluded with the assurance that, “For those who love this dish, there’s nothing like real, home-grown spaghetti.”



The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this query the BBC diplomatically replied, “Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.”
To this day the Panorama broadcast remains one of the most famous and popular April Fool’s Day hoaxes of all time. It is also believed to be the first time the medium of television was used to stage an April Fool’s Day hoax.
