Humour Challenge - OpenSolaris and the New Yorker
New Yorker CoverSomeone, somewhere must be funnier than me.  I try to be funny but sometimes, well, it just doesn't work.

The New Yorker has an fun cartoon caption contest.  And I'd love love love (did I say love?) to see OpenSolaris mentioned in a cartoon in my beloved New Yorker.  I know there are a few non-techies left in the world who haven't heard of OpenSolaris, and here's a way to make them wonder what it is...  Well, if only someone were funny enough to come up with a caption that either ends up as a Top-3 finalist or ends up as a winner.

So c'mon - be curious - be creative and have some fun - and peek on over to the latest cartoon caption contest and see if genius sparks.

And, the current contest has a "devil" character in it - doesn't that bring to mind some kind of BSD and OpenSolaris humour?

If you subscribe to the New Yorker, you can also find the contest on the back page of the print magazine.

Please comment on my blog if you've submitted something and if you're game please share your idea, too!  (Sigh, looking at the New Yorker, it looks like you need to be a U.S. Resident to participate over the age of 18.)
