Geek Matrix Parody

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the was-morpheus-really-a-channel-op? dept.

jarv writes "While idle, a friend messaged me with the URL to an incredibly funny (geared towards us geeks of course) Matrix parody. It's not quite complete, one page is added each day. It's worth it. Go...read...laugh." We're posting this in case there's a Slashdot reader who hasn't seen (and submitted) it yet. It's been all over IRC for the last week.

    There had to be, and here is Mr. T vs. The Matrix site.

    Okay, it is time to establish my credentials as a net.old.foggy, not that I expect anyone to believe me or care. This reminded me a bit of the Usenet Olympics. Okay, the content is different, but the excellent use of net references is dead on. There are two more olympiads in that directory. And not all of the naes you'll see are ancient history. Yup, back in my day, Sonny, all we had was text, and we were glad to have it because we knew people with online services that weren't connected to the Internet. Heck, we had to use it in the dark days before Al Gore invented it.

  3. mOrpheus and Zero Cool by Morgaine · · Score: 4

    The frame that had me in stitches was the first exchange between Morpheus and Neo:

    Welcome Neo. As you may have guessed, I am mOrpheus.

    -- What? Don't you mean 'Morpheus'?

    Right, and I bet you think "Zero Cool" isn't taken yet either.

  4. Geeks File Lawsuit Against Humor Page by pen · · Score: 4
    JANUARY 08, 2000 -- Today, many geeks filed a lawsuit against someone known only as "Cr0bar" online. A week ago, Cr0bar posted a humorous web page, a parody of the movie The Matrix. Cr0bar is accused by the geeks of purposely posting a web page that caused them to "cough up various beverages onto their keyboards and surroundings," and other damages.

    "I was in the server room at the moment," recalls one geek, "and one of my friends told me to go to the page. As soon as I saw some of the pictures, I collapsed on the floor laughing, and caused a lot of damage to some of the servers. We had about three hours of downtime."

    The geeks are contending that a warning entrance page should have been posted before the actual pictures, so that the readers could be given a chance to sit down and put down their drinks.

    Cr0bar could not be reached for comment.

    (I must be dreaming! Slashdot replaced all the zeroes with O's in Cr0bar!)
