CoffeeNowDammit writes "Care to watch other people play Pong? You may be able to do so with the debut of G4, a new US cable channel (via participating Comcast cable providers) devoted entirely to video-gaming. G4 will air a marathon of Pong.. 24 hours a day.. see ball, see ball bounce.. for an entire week. Story is here . What a country." This has got to be a joke, right? A fake press release? Please, tell me it's a joke.

I'm stuck in the basement and can't get out!! by Anonymous Coward · 2002-04-24 23:01 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Help!
I've been living in my mom's basement for two months now and today, when I decided to go out and get something to eat, I realised I've become so obese that I can't fit through the door anymore! I'm stuck in the basement without food and my mom's at work! I'm gonna starve!

  Sticks and stones!
  My mom says that I am the way I am because of my genies and that it is not my fault. She also says that I should ignore what the mean people like you and even doctors say to me about my weight. I am a big boy because God made me that way and it is none of your business to say those things!
  I am a growing boy and I need a lot of food.

  FYIw, it is better to say
  
  "1st April, right?"
  
  because it matches with "1st post", "frist Poth", "eff pee", etc. So if you also make fp you're the boss.

No, normal editors just post stuff and ask readers to correct spelling and broken links. :p

Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · 2002-04-24 23:37 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

Two concepts that Starfleet captains never got a hang of: flying OVER and flying UNDER and object.

try: flying OVER and flying UNDER an object.
