    Ok today I was trying to explain some computer stuff to me gf today.

    Gf: "Can you explain it using bunnies?"
    Me: "Wow, I am surprized, bunnies work pretty well for this."


    What are some of the funnier things you have had to say/do/say to help some one understand what you were explaining to them?

    I saw car analogies ought to be enough for anyone.

    Something about downloading and torrents verses direct dl.

    You have 2 carrots: a download carrot and an upload carrot. Both with bunnies eating them. The dl bunny(dlb) eats towards you, the ulb eats away from you. The *bps is how many bytes the bunny can eat in 1 sec.

    Website's bunnies can only eat so much at a time. To keep thier dlb from getting full they use torrents. Torrents let your dlb connect with other uses' ulb (and vise-versa) and everybody shares the carrot.

    Cars work great alot of time. But I dont know much about cars and she loves bunnies. Seems everytime I try to explain anything to her now she asks me to do it in "bunny language"

    Mind? Lord no! I think a lifetime of reading Spike Milligan, watching Monty Python and occasionally doing humorous writing has helped a bit.

    well keep it up. I love finding lil oddities like you that can be copied to get a good "WTF".

    (its late, or rather Ive been up long time. Let me translate)

    Awsome. Keep posting more humorious phrases like that. I really enjoy them reading them, and when they good I like to pass them on.
