The eight Saddam 'body doubles' are gathered in one of the bunkers in downtown Baghdad. Tariq Aziz, the deputy prime minister, comes in and says, "I have some good news and some bad news." They ask for the good news first. Aziz says, 'The good news is that Saddam is still alive, so you all still have jobs." "And the bad news?" they ask. Aziz replies, "He's lost an arm."

here was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level. Stuff that will make them scream, cry, and howl in pain and anger!" He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
..........................................
Philosophy Exam An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a broad array of topics. The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: "Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist." Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair. One member of the class however, was up and finished in less than a minute. Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how he could have gotten an "A" when he had barely written anything at all. His answer consisted of two words: "What chair?"

Power Of Words Lawyer: "Now that you have been acquitted, will you tell me honestly? Did you steal the car?" Client: "After hearing your amazing argument in court this morning, I’m beginning to think I didn’t."

Johnny and Mary were 5 year old neighbors. One day while they were out playing in the yard, Johnny said to Mary "Mary, look what my dad got for me, a new catcher's mitt". Mary ran into her house and returned in a few minutes; "Johnny, look what my mom got me, a new doll".
The next day as they played together, Johnny said "look Mary, my mom got me a new baseball bat". Mary shrugged, ran into her house and returned with a pair of roller skates. "Look Johnny what my dad gave me".
By this time, Johnny was feeling a bit overwhelmed. So, in a desperate show of one-ups-man-ship, he dropped his pants down, pointed, and said "Mary, look what I've got!".
Mary, unperturbed, turned and ran to her house. She was inside for some time. Then, she came bursting out, the the screen door slamming, ran up to Johnny, dropped her pretty pink dress and underwear, and pointed down. "Johnny, I just talked to my mommy and she said to tell you that I don't have one of those, but I do have one of these (pointing), and with one of these, I can get all of those I want!".

You can tell the sex of an ant by dropping it into a jug of water.
If it sinks: girl ant.
If it floats: boy ant.

I'm getting the same thing on Chrome and Windows 7 and on Android. And Explorer and Windows 8.1 and Chrome and Windows 8.1. So not platform dependent.

I've only seen it in this thread though. Maybe the system's idea of humor.

I have Tech Support looking into it but none of the affected posts seemed to have used the "manage attachments" function to load the images.
