Ahh, the good old days. I also remember the story about, I think it might have been Rocktamer and someone else Achaean Larping with rakes, belts and rubbish bin lids and breaking the window at his mother's house
Janeway: Tuvok! *clapclap* Release my hounds!
Krenim: Hounds? How cliche.

Certainly! Makes hacking accounts that much easier!
Oh rubbish. Finding out if an account name exists on a site is trivial. This is a typical "security by the instruction manual" statement that adds no real security but just inconveniences people.
The only way it would be a problem is if it actually told you that the password you used is incorrect for that username, but correct for another username.
Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!" Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh." Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
Certainly! Makes hacking accounts that much easier!
If you try a username and password combo and get "username or password is incorrect", you can try making a new account with the username you tried and see if it lets you make it. If it doesn't, it means the username is already in use, so you've confirmed it's a valid username.
The "either one or the other is incorrect" is a very silly, ineffective form of account protection.
EDIT: I should have scrolled down, @Arador beat me to it.
I once had a schoolmate (transfer student) who was named Jaime Jesus. I our language, it is uncannily ressemblant to J'aime Jésus, who would mean "I love Jesus". Poor boy

Apparently the WBC threatened to protest Robyn Williams' funeral. This is the response from one of our comedians

The most convoluted knock knock joke:
That was Cain and Xeno.
Ah. I knew it was one of them. So funny though.
Completely true, the Afrikaans part at least. I do not think the plural possessive of "ewe" is "ewer's"
