that her advertised speed - I'll bet she actually gets a lot lower

I want to know where she's going to put all those bits and bytes... She'd need a lot of very fast RAM to buffer the bandwidth before storing it...

In a related story, Sigbritt Löthberg was found drowned in 1s and 0s when her superhigh speed internet connection sprang a memory leak. She swam as long as she could but soon tired when the overload of bits reached the ceiling of the second floor of her Karlstad home. She is survived by her grieving son Peter Löthberg who was last seen three hours ago donning scuba diving gear prior to disappearing into the frothing maelstrom of data bits seeking his new Windows Vista computer, which he had loaned his mother. “I don’t know how I would survive this loss,” Peter wept, “I really loved that computer!”

Karlstad city officials were at a loss as to how to turn off the flow of pornography, mp3s and bit torrent files that were still streaming into the small cottage where the tragedy occurred. A large tornado of air is spinning around the Karlstad Stadsnät ISP office as more and more data is pulled into the feed and directed to Sigbritt’s home. The wind velocity is estimated to be over 200 mph and five Pakistani techs were dragged into their telephones by the suction when panicked Karlstad Stadsnät operators called tech support for help.

Reports coming from as far away as Pahrump, Nevada, USA, say that hard drives are being stripped of data to feed the voracious internet feed to Sigbritt’s broadband connection. Suggestions have been made that to prevent the drain of all data from all computers in the world, the World Wide Web may have to be shut down until the disaster abates.

I’m sure you are aware that this is the yell of a very happy CAJUN. I love gumbo.
