Seinfeld lovers the world over would instantly recognize the sight of Jerry Seinfeld’s small, off-white Mac from 1993, a machine which sat woefully unused for the majority of the television series.

Now, with the help of a hilarious parody Twitter account called Seinfeld2000, users can finally explore a comedic emulation of the computer from the famed sitcom, complete with desktop, photos, and other hilarious links and documents.

The parody site features the classic black-and-which checkered background and home screen formatting as Jerry’s real-world Mac. And though functionality is limited on the virtual device, the internet emulation does offer many quirky hidden gems for modern day users.

The clickable internet search history tab, for example, reveals some hilarious queries. Jokes here range from episode-related humor like a search for “Saab parts,” to comedic and inane Seinfeld-exclusive questions like, “Can you get an STD if your girlfriend drops her toothbrush in the toilet and you kiss her?” and, “What if there was a referee for marriages?”

Links in the music folder take users to YouTube, where they get an 8-bit version of The Eagles’ Desperado, the Seinfeld Theme, and Will Smith’s iconic Gettin Jiggy With It. The comedian’s trash folder includes files called “Newman,” “Carrot Top,” “Friends,” and “Donald Trump.” Other functions include being able to read a first draft of the Bee Movie script, and a GIF of Elaine hidden in his “boring tax forms” folder.

Overall, the page is an interesting amalgamation of Seinfeld nostalgia and Seinfeld2000’s hilariously-misspelled Twitter page, and is well worth a look for those who enjoy the classic series — or those who have a Hulu Plus subscription and are making their way through the show for the first time.

For more of Seinfeld2000’s ongoing Seinfeld humor, we suggest that you follow the account on Twitter.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
