Caption this: WIN a 6TB Western Digital Black hard drive with El Reg Wow, what bumper crop of captions this week, it seems that El Reg readers are pretty flexible when it comes to posting thoughts on gymnastic computer users. Thanks again to the regular posters, no doubt driven on by the knowledge that last week’s winner had already won once. Quite a few referenced the Lenovo Yoga device …

Breakfast need never be boring again with the new Ronco "Toast-o-graphic" photo image maker!
Just stand in front of the discrete lens and minutes later the toast rack on top will be full of delicious hot toast, each slice bearing your image. Or get the whole family in on the act and use it to reserve a personalised slice; no more popping off to use the bathroom only to find all the toast gone when you get back.

1) In the old days, the all seeing eye of Big Brother was a bit more obvious.
2) In the old days, laser eye surgery was a more laid-back affair.
3) It's a bit chilly. Should I roll my sleeves back down, or fire up the magnetron?
4) Take a guess, is it a shrink ray or just a forced perspective picture?
5) Bruce Wayne admires the new Bat-Symbol projector before sending to to Commissioner Gordon.
My mate Anatoli Bugorski assured me this is perfectly safe.
Dave the NASA engineer gets an inexplicable sense of foreboding as the first HAL 1000 prototype malfunctions and refuses to open the laboratory doors.
Or on an even more retro note...
As he lays down his terms to the dastardly Ming the Merciless using Zarkov's amazing communication device, Flash Gordon developes a fixed grin as he realizes he's forgotton to put on his braces and his trousers are about to fall down.

A few hundred years into the future, millions of light years from earth & countless evolutions of the Oculus to make Holodeck technology a reality & the bloody thing can only handle black & white. I think we had better Boldy Go back to the time of colour tv :P

Look here Berners-Lee, you may have invented the world wide web but without my "Web Cam" it will fizzle out in the public perception as an electronic filing cabinet for academics within six months, so you might show a bit more enthusiasm, damn your eyes! And for the love of God adjust your horizontal hold!
The very first Minion was large and hard surfaced, but Gru saw the potential for mischief and thought a smaller and softer cohort would be much better. Sadly, mark II, named after its new features, Microsoft, was flawed to the core and highly irrational, yet much less of a threat to mankind than mark III, which was named after its baby noises, Gurgle, or as Gru pronounces it, Google.
I think that El Reg must have been toying a little to much with the Back To The Future watch before they sent it to the last winner - time at the competition desk now seems to be completely unreliable.
Either that, or they've taken to increasing fairness in humour testing by taking the competition results out to the street on a clipboard and running them by random passers by. However, that suffers with two problems....
1) That must be a bloody big clipboard.
2) Londoners have such an aversion to people standing with a clipboard, looking expectantly worried at passers by, that they avoid such clipboard wielders at all costs; so El Reg probably give it a week, then give up and throw a D20 to run selections.
Well, I can't think of any other explanation for the time difference between competitions and results... not that I bother entering them any more, but it's fun laughing at some of the winners!... and that gives you two possible reasons as to why I laugh at them... to find out which one, you'll have to borrow El Reg's dice.
(just found out about the Disdyakis triacontahedron dice. With that beast, it would only take them 4 throws to find a winning joke. And knowing the game of chance, it will probably result in the post that asks where the results are...)
