In a surprise press conference today, SCO's Darryl McBride announced 
that SCO is suing SCO .

McBride appeared at the conference with two baseball caps, one blue and 
one red. He stated that, as head of SCO, he would be speaking for both 
sides of the suit, so to keep everyone clear as to his position, he 
would be changing hats depending upon which side of SCO he was 
representing. When wearing a blue hat, he would be representing the good 
SCO (the suer), and the red one when representing the bad SCO (the suee).

With a blue hat on, McBride denounced those evil elements within SCO who 
continued to steal SCO's property by distributing OpenLinux 3.1.1 via 
FTP, even after being warned by SCO's lawyers about IP issues in its 
tainted 2.4 kernel. He then put on a red hat and bitterly denounced 
those elements within SCO who were going against the spirit of the GPL 
and trying to extort money by selling a bogus license to those Linux 
users who had downloaded OpenLinux thinking that they could use it with 
worry.

As the conference went on, the arguments between the two sides became 
more and more acrimonious, and McBride became more and more confused as 
to which side he was representing. He ultimately got into such an 
argument that he was unable to keep track of which hat he was, wearing, 
at times, wearing one cap, or both, or neither.

The conference ended when he fired himself, rehired himself, and then 
fired himself again.

Further investigative reporting shows that Mr. McBride is 
resting comfortably in a hospital bed after treatment for 
lacerations, contusions and fractures.  Witnesses report that 
after the press conference he took himself out into the alley 
and beat the *&#^% out of himself.  Doctors refuse to 
speculate whether the coma he appears to be in was caused by 
"blunt force trauma" or blunt logic.

SCO is suing SCO
