Monday, October 08, 2007  Old Microsoft joke  I was searching
the internet for some help with a little code problem I had, and
stumbled across this page, which consists of some bloke asking a
question (exactly the same one as I had) and a Microsoft
employee giving an answer:  Upon reading it I was instantly
reminded of old joke which, given the employee's response in the
link above, is based upon reality...!  A helicopter was flying
around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all
of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications
qquipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not
determine the helicopter's position and course to fly to the
airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled,
drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window.
The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in
the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a
large sign and held it in a building window. Their sign read:
"YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
