I've seen worse where the content actually appears.. 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

For me, all it says, is "Adobe Flash Player is blocked" - twice!
I've seen a whole load worse than that!

That's more than I'm getting. OTOH I don't think flash is installed on my work laptop at all. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Worst or best website ever[^]?
In the 90's it would've been pretty average

Here are my peeves.
1. A growing number of websites are now a small narrow column in the middle (1/3 of the width of the screen) with blank on the left and right. I have to resize the whole page to read the fine text that is compressed into the tiny column. WHY DO YOU DO THAT??????
2. Websites that put up a big banner that "this site uses cookies. You must click here to acknowledge some junk about stuff that is stupid and is used on every website on Earth".
3. Websites that think people are so stupid they don't realize that the website owner does not own all the content in the entire world. They put up messages that "you are leaving www.stupididiot.com and we are not responsible for whatever other websites you might look at."
DUH!!!!!
We have all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of William Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know that this is not true.

You can thank the EU for that one - The Cookie Law Explained - everyone knows it's useless, but it's an EU directive so..

BURN THEM
It is an old one...
We have two ropes. Both will burn exactly one hour from one end to other, but they both burn at uneven space as it may be that one will burn half the length in 10 minutes and the other half in the remaining 50 minutes...
The question is how to measure 45 minutes with these two ropes?
The answer is that set fire on both end of the ropes will half the burning time...
My problem is that the answer is seems to contradict the 'burn at uneven space' part, but never saw a proof of it, as it was trivial...
Can you prove it?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Light first rope on both ends. Because it doesn't burn evenly, the flames may not meet in the middle but the entire rope will still burn in 30 minutes. Sell second rope and buy a cheap watch. Drop cheap watch from top of Dubai towers. Due to updraft, it will take exactly 45 minutes for the watch to hit the ground. Plus or minus 44 minutes.
