The Easter bunny has hopped over to the BioWare Game Secrets section and laid some new easter eggs! For Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic gamers, check out the hole in Jolee’s Saucy Suspender Socks. For Neverwinter Nights fans, BioWare demonstrates its nerdiness with the Pearl of Bashing.

Although I may come first on the A to Z list of huge nerds, I accept no blame for putting the Pearl of Bashing "joke" in the game.

I would like to extend the blame to "HotU master nerd" Brent Knowles - the creator of the infernal bridge control.

No actually this is the worst joke ever:

First Guy: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

Second Guy: I don't know- why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

First guy: Because it was dead.

Second Guy: Ah.

No, this is the worst joke ever:

What do you get when you divide the circumfrence of an igloo by its diameter?



Eskimo Pi


As for your perl of BSHing, that's a long way to go for that joke.

Worst joke?

In the bayous of Louisiana, there is a small river called the Dirac. Many wealthy people have their mansions near its mouth. One of the social leaders decided to have a grand ball. Being a cousin of the Governor, she arranged for a detachment of the state militia to serve as guards and traffic directors for the big doings. A captain was sent over with a small company; naturally he asked if there was enough room for him and his unit. The social leader replied, "But of course, Captain! It is well known that the Dirac delta function has unit area."


And yes, I really liked that Pearl of Bashing thing as well; I'll probably have to get the HotU expansion now...

01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010
01100010 01100001 01110011 01100101

I tried to keep it nice & neat for easier reading. This may also rank up there with "worst joke/goof ever"

The scary part is there might be a couple geeks here that CAN read this!

Sure hope there are no typos here. That could really screw the pooch hehehe

There are.

I would have preferred hex EBCDIC though. It's better suited to confer the subtle nuances of the joke.

A priest, a rabbi, and a nun walked into a bar...

...the priest got a concussion, but the other two got off with just a few scrapes and bumps on the head.

How's that?
