- Brilliant! Not only do I agree that IO10781 (or Koasgii?) has
- perpetrated a shenanigan here in the newsgroup, and deserves to be
- added to whatever list is being kept, but I also think it's the best
- one yet! It's truly a shenanigan - if you "get" it, you think it's
- funny, but can't quite see why it was worth it for the perpetrator.
- At the same time, you have a sneaking suspicion that they had a much
- better time doing it than you had watching it...
-
- Too many of the recent shenanigans have been more like practical
- jokes. Some are plenty clever, but are missing the "huh?" factor.
