      Well,

      The Timothy or the Timmy. As explained by :-

      The number of intelligent stories posted by a Timothy in a year.

      The IQ of a Timothy.

      How many times a Timothy posts opinion as a comment and not as story.

      See we're talking really,realy low numbers here.

      Go on my karma can take it.

    Make it small enough to power a gameboy sized device and run GLQuake and then get back to me. I've already lost my current cellphone in my pocket. Anyone ever seen that show "Trigger Happy TV" with the guy with the overly ginormous phone? THATS the phone for me.

    You know, after I pushed submit to the story, I wondered, "will this get posted because it is an interesting read" or "will this get posted because the Slashdot crowd wants to talk about thier penis size". 6 comments down, and I've got my answer.
