From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's a fairly widespread Internet meme, I think in order to make fun of France, though I'm not sure exactly where it originated.
it's not very funny
It's extremely funny.
Only if you're a moron.
Man you didn’t even see it, we both went up and down before I lost. It was very dramatic. Still I maintain that making fun of the french is easy laughs.
Faut dire que les français passent leur temps a se moquer des anglais alors il y a quand même une certaine réciprocité.
There is balance in all things. Making fun of the English and Americans is equally as funny. So's the dutch and the Portuguese and the Spanish. If at any point your country was an empire, making fun of its people is open game.
You could still pull ahead by Friday!
