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".

The violence of "bloody Sunday" in the 2006 Russian production of Dr. Zhivago is ridiculously downplayed.

As part of their effort to whitewash the image of "Saint Nicholas", the newly canonized Russian Tsar Nicholas II, the producers of the 2006 Russian version of Boris Pasternak's masterpiece, Doctor Zhivago, ridiculously downplay the incredible violence of "Bloody Sunday", during the Russian Revolution of 1905, in which thousands were pointlessly slaughtered by Tsar Nicholas II. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ygd24 To look at this version, you would think there was no violence at all, and the soldiers were merely defending themselves against overly aggressive protesters using minimal force!
