CarpetFishing!
 
This is a joke. I thought I might post this here because it's funny to me.

On Sunday, I was reading the comics (people do that sometimes, you know), and I came across this comic:

http://bellsouthpwp.net/p/r/prprogra...7093116390.jpg

And I thought: "Gee, I know enough about programming that I can do that!". So, I sat down and did it. It took me about 15 minutes or so to write.

I even emailed Scott Adams and he responded saying he ran the program.

At any rate, I thought I'd share this with the PFO community.

I call the program CarpetFish.

Here's the web page for it:
http://bellsouthpwp.net/p/r/prprogra...etfishing.html

And here are some download links:
Compiled Windows Binary
Source Code, in C++

If you need more info, tell me.

Hope you find it as amusing as I did. :)

[P.S.: This is not a appropriate moment for a 'WTF?', because you're supposed to find this to be funny. :) ]

Here's the question of the day...is PRM753 a prime candidate for promotion or elmination?

Mocker Oct 3rd, 2007 5:06 AM

I missed a catfish, but caught a salmon a minute later... lol

It'd be cool too if you randomly had carp jumping out of the water trying to knock you out of the "boat".

@rwm: Come down here on the Mississippi River and I'll show you... not only do carp jump, they fly. I broke a many a paddle over the head of 20lb+ fish that jumped into my boat.

Here's a good video of some other guys experiencing it:
