Funeral Being Held Today For IE6 194
An anonymous reader writes "More than 100 people, many of them dressed in black, are expected to gather around a coffin Thursday to say goodbye to an old friend. The deceased? Internet Explorer 6. The aging Web browser, survived by its descendants Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, is being eulogized at a tongue-in-cheek 'funeral' hosted by Aten Design Group, a design firm in Denver, Colorado."

I'm inclined to show up, very drunk, and make a scene. Certainly calling the deceased "my abuser". Probably inexplicably accusing the mourners of being "hypocrites" and/or "phonies". Possibly culminating in me falling into the grave and freaking out.

couldn't we instead pillory and behead it, tie it to a stake and alight it on a burning pyre, and then stomp on its corpse?
Structurally there's no difference. (Score:3, Funny)

Google: Bring out yer dead.
[IE8 puts IE6 on the cart]
IE8: Here's one.
Google: That'll be ninepence.
IE6: I'm not dead.
Google: What?
IE8: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
IE6: I'm not dead.
Google: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
IE8: Yes he is.
IE6: I'm not.
Google: He isn't.
IE8: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
IE6: I'm getting better.
IE8: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
Google: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
IE6: I don't want to go on the cart.
IE8: Oh, don't be such a baby.
Google: I can't take him.
IE6: I feel fine.
IE8: Oh, do me a favor.
Google: I can't.
IE8: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
Google: I promised I'd be at the Torvalds'. They've lost nine today.
IE8: Well, when's your next round?
Google: Thursday.
IE6: I think I'll go watching some YouTube videos.
IE8: You're not fooling anyone, you know. [turns to Google]Isn't there anything you could do?
IE6: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[Google glances up and down the street furtively, then silences IE6 with his a whack of his club]
IE8: Ah, thank you very much.
Google: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
IE8: Right.
