I don't know why, but I hope this is a fake.

It rides on some sound theory but when he plugs the USB connector into the
onion, that does it.

Don't try this at home kids - it's just one more in a series of fake
how-to videos that has become popular on video sites. It's some kind of
internet phenomenon. Why anybody would time the time and effort to make
these things is a mystery. Misinformation - it's the new information. :-)

I think a carrot works better.

Normally, I think everything is funny, however, I've seen too many to
these videos. Too bad - I'm burnt out on these. :-)

BTW, here's a cool new way to cook a turkey!

That one is funnier, I think. But if you're tired of the form...

Ever see the "Look Around You" videos? The opening sequence with the
guy entering code in BASIC on an Acorn BBC Microcomputer carries a lot
of information -- like those filmstrips the coach who taught health
in 10th gade.

I've never seen this series. This tells me that you're probably a old
computer enthusiast around 55 or 60 years old, who grew up watching this
type of material in the UK and has a rather droll sense of humor. That's
my guess anyway. In my case, I missed most of the humor - too much of an
American, I guess.

You might find this to be funny or of interest:

Nice. You got my age about right.

To set the record straight, I'm a Texan with Louisiana roots, married
to a native Texan. The old computer stuff is just a passing interest
because of how I was first convinced to use a personal computer. A
good friend back in the early 80s had a Kaypro, and he showed me how
to use it for word processing. It looked like this:

Dang! That cheap parlor trick works a lot of the time. :-)

That Kaypro reminds me of this:

Good thing it has that hefty rubber grip handle, you'd need it! We've
come a long way, baby!

Maybe he didn't want to take a leek near electricity.
