MIT Gnome Invasion

J. Arthur Random writes "On Wednesday, April 23, hundreds of gnomes invaded the main public computer cluster at MIT. There were big gnomes, little gnomes, even naked gnomes. A gnome army carried the GNOME banner. Fortunately, the ACME Gnome Exterminators took care of the infestation within a few days."

    Where are the African-American gnomes? The Arab gnomes?? The South Asian gnomes? The Jewish gnomes??

    THIS IS BLATANT DISCRIMINATION - I cannot allow this exclusion of minority gnomes to stand!

    I shall be filing a class action lawsuit against MIT; all minority gnomes should contact me immediately.

    (Now to figure out some way to bring the DMCA into this...)

    In the US, it's friday night. Little news is being generated. Most people are out doing something.

    Except us, of course.

    Party on, clbyjack81!

    Hundreds of Gnomes couldn't take down the MIT computer labs, but Slashdot does it with one story submission. Is there anything that can stop the Slashdot army?

    So the computer lab is filled with hairy little men. What's so great about this? You should see my friends at a LAN party... Woohoo! Hack! =)
