The Perfect Password

A woman was helping her husband set up his computer, and at the appropriate point in the process, she told him that he would now need to enter a password. Something he could remember easily and will use each time he has to log on.

P... E... N... I... S...

His wife fell off her chair laughing when the computer replied:

***PASSWORD REJECTED. NOT LONG ENOUGH**

Photo of the Day

This remarkably beautiful autumn photo was sent to me in an email that read, when God paints he uses all His colors.

If anyone knows anything about these photos, please leave a comment as I would love to credit the photographer. Thanks!
