So, you have thousands of geeks nervously dismantling their laptops now?:-p
 
That's what happens when you believe everything you read on the Internet. Shame on you!

Tell them it was a test to see if they could fall prey to an internet hoax. You're teaching them how to avoid being victimized. Someday they'll thank you for this. :-p

They are mythical creatures sometimes found schooling like fish. They are mainly located in malls and on cell phones. Researchers have been having a tough time determining if these creatures are "intelligent".

You better grab a handful of yomamma's GOOBF cards too...that one's really going to cost ya! :devil:

I don't know though, Russ seemed to be doing pretty well with his arm around TWO women at that football game. What are the odds of finding not just one but two women who like football AND will let a geek touch them?! :biggrin:

Yesterday, scientists for the FDA suggested that men take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis revealing the presence of female hormones in beer. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the finding, 100 men were given 6 cans of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong. No further testing is planned.*RUNS AWAY FAR FAR AWAY...WITH his GOOBF card(s)*

dammit. i would have seen this if i wasnt taking mine apart... . I got all worked up, no time to check if its a hoax or not. but then again, if they could put chips in laptops, they could play it off as a hoax. maybe ill keep dismantling, i had to put it back together midway.

No, no. A woman is the sum of her parts. You missed a couple.
