A TGIF treat: The Medieval Help Desk June 27, 2008

Everyone needs a little levity on a Friday. It’s a great way to start the weekend (although if you are like me you are most likely working this weekend – so humor me 🙂 ). This is without a doubt my all-time favorite video. I almost fell off my chair laughing the first time I saw this.
This video makes fun of modern newbie computer users by illustrating – in a way fully understandable to them – how silly some of their questions are by creating a similar problem in the Middle Ages.
It’s from a show called Øystein & Meg (Øystein & I) produced by the Norwegian Broadcasting television channel (NRK) in 2001. The spoken language is Norwegian. It’s written by Knut Nærum and performed by Øystein Bache and Rune Gokstad. Enjoy!
