I just got a new PIN/TAN sheet from my bank and - I am so thankful - they provide a manual how to use it. But I can't even understand the first step, which reads:

1 - Start the internet.

Huh? How do I do that?

Can it be a usual hamster, or is a trained expert hamster needed? They don't say anything on the kind of hamster I need to use.

Well, first you have to buy an Internet off of that Spice Girl, Scary Spice. I think she stocked up.

The hard part is stopping the internet again afterwards.

I had a hamster when I was a kid... it bit my finger all the way through my finger nail. So I didn't feed it for a week and it died.

No no no no no! You guys have it all wrong! You start the internet by double clicking on the E for Internet. Stupid people. E stands for internet, because internet is spelt wrong, so you click on the E and it opens a window and then the internet is on. That said you shouldn't leave the internet on too long otherwise you could get hairy palms from too much use.

Dude, didn't you buy an official 'internet' CD from MS?

I still love when people refer to IE as the only source of the internet.
