Mike's Geek Humour Collection


I'd like to present this small collection of 'nerd humour' -- witty, and/or humorous prose and parodies of well-known songs and poems. Actually, that's a terrible description. Basically, here's a bunch of filk and other stuff which is really quite funny (if you have the correct mindset, of course..)

Many of the articles came to me with no author information or credits, so some pieces might be incorrectly attributed, or not attributed at all. If you can correct any of these, please let me know. In the meantime, apologies to anyone who's been missed out -- this is solely due to lack of information on my part. I want any attributions to be correct, and with the 'net as it is, some things get mangled during transmission, so the ones that have eventually reached me may be inaccurate.


General


Parodies

A lot of the songs and poems contained herein came from a compilation originally put together by Stefan Haenssgen <hanssgen@ira.uka.de> and posted as the "Collection of Computer Songs And Poems".

Stuff I've written

OK, I've written a couple of things which ended up in alt.humor.best-of-usenet, for reasons which I can't quite work out. Vanity dictates, however, that they get included here. Ho hum. The more serious stuff is on a different page.
