The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Apparently, you can't even refer to pedophilic scenes in old films without being censored these days

https://www.quora.com/Did-National-Lampoons-Animal-House-break-any-barriers-when-it-came-out-in-1978/answer/Jerry-Kraus-9 I was responding to a question on Quora about the film "Animal House", about whether it broke any barriers, and said no, not particularly. However there were scenes that wouldn't go over too well these days. Like the scene in which one of the nerdy Animal House freshman has sex with a thirteen year old girl he met at the supermarket. These days, he'd go to prison for life. It was just treated as a joke in the film. Quora immediately censored the response, something they rarely do. Is merely referring, accurately, to a detail in a film that implies pedophilia unacceptable these days? Is that kind of weird? Have they edited that scene out of Animal House, these days?
