Crikey.com.au is the best political web site on the planet. It's not always funny, but it is always right on the mark. If you aren't an Aussie you might not get much from it, and if your exposure to politics is limited to what you read in the paper, give up now...

Admittedly these links aren't strictly humourous. In fact they are all 100% genuine honest-to-goodness true stories about MS-Windows. The operating system on 1/3(?) of the worlds computers. Is MS-Windows the joke, or is the joke on the people running it?
