Spelling Mistake Pointed Out on CS Forums
Tragic events followed a novice forum user today, when he
accidentally misspelled a word on his second post to the famed
Counter-Strike Fourms. The unfortunate error was caught by the
former forum moderator and insomniac Mach5. Pointing out his
spelling mistake on the word "engine," which Johnny_Rotten
wrote mistakenly as "enhine," Mach5 was thrown into a fury of
slander.
"Once someone points out a spelling mistake your forum
career is just about over," commented Keyser-Soze :D, who
suffered a similar fate in the great forum outlash of Beta
6.
Keyser stated his pathetic state of mind was a result of
his own egregious error, forcing him to carry a new handle
with only 742 posts credited to it. Keyser-Soze said this as
he nervously eyed a pack of razor blades resting on the
table.
"I didn't deserve it man, I didn't deserve it," a
disheartened Johnny_Rotten said. "You don't know what it's
like. I join a server and the admin bans me. There's a damn
price on my head. All I wanted to do was comment about Beta
7."
"I knew what he was going to do," claimed one forum
moderator. "You don't f00k with Mach5."
New Knife Increases Suicide Rate
Statistics show that the introduction of the Ginsu(tm)
knife into Counter-Strike has rapidly increased suicide rates
by players. Farewell letters from the self-inflicting victims
seem all too alike; most mention that the new knife offers "a
less painful abdominal entrance" and "slides in real
smooth."
Clan member [uP]Cockman's suicide note reads similar to the
others: "KN1FE with rubbOr gr1p and SMOOTH EDGE OMFG... ME GO
BYE-BYE NOW"
Autopsies of the players have revealed two usual death
scenarios: either repetitive, short slashes across the chest,
or a powerful thrust-and-rip into the facial region. Many
deaths could have been avoided, authorities say, if users just
turned the knife around.
Analysts suggest the company's slogan, "Ginsu(tm) has a
knife for everything," has a deeper connection with the
deaths. |
De_aztec Lighting Baffles Archeologists
The
Aztec Indians, who dominated central Mexico in the time of
Spanish Conquest, have always been looked back on as one of
the most technologically advanced cultures in history.
However, recent developments suggest that these people
possessed the technology the rest of the world would not
encounter for centuries to come. To be blunt, Ben Franklin did
not invent electricity.
Historians and archeologists are baffled as to how Aztec
people harnessed the power of florescent lighting hundreds of
years in advance. A gathering of top experts declared
yesterday that they have "no clue" as to what the source of
this profound discovery might be.
Dr. Ethan Mazur, archeologist, spoke about the recent
happenings. "In addition to finding the source of the
florescent lighting, we are also trying to find out how the
Aztecs bypassed traditional incandescent lighting and went
straight to florescent. It's mind boggling."
Dr. Mazur
also said that because of the lack of cords or visible wiring,
his team is trying to find the power source for the lighting.
Wireless energy, as inconceivable as it may be, might have
been an everyday rite for these jungle people.
"The Aztecs also have channeled local lightning storms into
small, red, circular ritual marks on the ground. We believe
this might be a source of energy," he commented. "The bulbs
have been running for hundreds of years, and they still work.
In addition to an advanced counting system and a sophisticated
time table, I guess we can add 'florescent lighting' to their
list of discoveries." |
