    I do remember we used to call them Koala bears, but I thought that was beaten out of us all in the mid 90's?
    Or are they still called Koala bears in 'Merica?
    Or am I imagining it was/in a small minority that it was?

    It was beaten out of us? I still call them Koala Bears, what do you call them?

    I think they could be newly hatched scorpions or crabs.

    EDIT - I stand corrected.

    I have a pet peeve of images posted in YLYL that are essentially a bunch of text.

    This one takes the biscuit though. A photo of a print out of a bunch of text. Somebody is taking the piss and I like it.

    If someone could please explain the joke, that would be nice too.

    20+ years of network experience and I'm about to explain something on the internet that's going to be wrong but I'll try to keep it simple wihout being stupid
    TCP is a mode of sharing information over computers where the computers agree the format/syntax of the communication (in a handshake), UDP doesn't agree they just do a request and response type communication.

    The best thing about TCP jokes is that you always get them.

    The worst thing about TCP jokes is that if you don't get it, they'll just keep repeating it slower and slower until you do.

    The difference between TCP & UDP

    TCP: Write message on a note and tie to a brick
    hand brick with message attached to neighbour
    Neighbour writes "got it" message and hands it back
    you then write "you're welcome" in it and give it back to him.

    UDP: you throw the brick at him!
    You don't care whether he got the message or not.

    Koalas.
    We had a teacher that would tell us that it is (no longer) Koala Bear.
    I guess it must have been that teachers influence throughout the school that made other teachers say similar (if it was ever brought up which was very rare).
    I just remembered it being drilled into us. I never really thought about it until now, but I always thought it was like the more recent 'Pluto is no longer a planet'.

    Maybe you misunderstood the teacher, or maybe they were just mistaken.
    But there is/was no "no longer" involved. They were never Koala Bears, although the misnomer has been around forever.
    Koala aren't bears, they are marsupial, like kangaroos.

    Pluto is different as it was a planet, then suddenly it wasn't anymore.

    Nope, like Pluto, it was never a planet, but was classed as one.
    We (as kids) were told it was a koala bear.
    Then, as the teacher(s) became more informed, we were told that was wrong. It is just a Koala.
    Any time anyone or anything referenced them as koala bears, we were reminded it is not a bear. IIRC it was a little frustrating, as they knew what was meant, even though it wasn't correct.

    I just meant the corrections in school must have been similar ( I always thought they may have been) - Pluto is no longer referred to as a bear.

    I don't recall Koalas/Koala Bears coming up too often during my education. Maybe they have shifted the focus in recent years.
