| 2:43p | Friday Funny: Gobble, Gobble in the Hot Aisle Well folks, we’ve made it to Friday again. Thank goodness! For our U.S. readers, we’re headed toward the Thanksgiving holiday next week. So, Diane Alber, our data center cartoonist, has a special cartoon this week. She writes, “You know how much I love to celebrate holidays in the data center with Kip and Gary, so I couldn’t pass up on Thanksgiving!” Check it out and give us your best humorous captions. Last week, readers voted “Did you find any IPv4 addresses down there?”, submitted by DDay, as the funniest caption for Raised Floor Hazard. Hearty congrats to our winner DDay.
For the previous cartoons on DCK, see our Humor Channel. For more Kip and Gary humor, visit their website. |
