Top 5 Data Center Cartoons of 2012
This time of the year is the season for “Best of 2012″ and “Top Stories” postings. We thought that our readers might enjoy a re-cap of the antics of their favorite cartoon characters, Kip and Gary, and have a bit of a chuckle at the year’s best cartoons!
For those who are not familiar, Data Center Knowledge runs a “Friday Funny” cartoon, created by Diane Alber, and asks our readers to submit funny captions. You can see more of Diane’s work on KipandGary.com
We have assembled the cartoons that folks submitted the most caption suggestions for this year. The number one winner was the “tall cabinets” cartoon above. Enjoy!
In this comic, Kip and Gary get a random cabinet that goes all the way to the ceiling. I’m not sure what they are going to do with it.
“It’s something you don’t think about very often, but there are some cases where the raised floor can’t take the weight load that you are putting in the cabinet. When you’re relocating cabinets and your floor buckles, sending all your IT equipment crashing to the floor … it’s not a good situation!
Kip has decided he is going to try and achieve two goals at once – exercising and saving energy. We’re just not sure how successful he is going to be.
