“Linux-related stocks soared this morning after reports that a
first-grade class in suburban Minneapolis learned how to properly
pronounce Linux….”

In other related news, the countries of South America
banded together and announced that in an effort to relieve
third-world debt they would jointly adopt Linux as the official
operating system of the newly renamed continent of
LinuxLand.

“This is really a shrewd move,” said analyst Tony Franke of
King-Matador Securities. “We know that anything related to Linux
defies all the laws of economics as we know them. I would expect
nothing less from LinuxLand.” The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
immediately forgave all debt to the new LinuxLand, clearing a way
for an economic resurgence in the Southern Hemisphere.”
