"In other news: HMS Vigilant's captain, Commander Bob Anstey allegedly
accidentally fired a nuclear missile at Redmond, Washington in an attempt
to complete the Windows Activation of the newly installed 'Submarine
Command System Next Generation' customized Windows XP system. 'It was a
bug, yes, that's it. Some kind of unfortunate bug triggered the 19-step
launch sequence,' said Commander Anstey. Nobody at or near Microsoft could
be reached for a comment."

- - Seen in a Slashdot comment thread [1], regarding the news that British
Royal Navy Submarines Now Run Windows [2].
