MIT Gnome Invasion

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gnome-man's-land dept.

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."

    I must say that I know this individual personally. It took all of us (literally) years to compile and create all of these gnomes. It all started out as a joke at first, but it then grew into an obsession and we kept collecting them until we reached a critical mass.

    It took us nearly 4 hours to completely place all of the gnomes you see on our webpage. The hardest part of doing it was being able to take pictures of them all.

    I hope you all enjoy our collection.

    This is stupid, boring, and pointless. Pictures of plastic gnomes. Wow. That sure is wild and crazy. Jeez, what were those wacky kids thinking? If this is MIT's idea of a good time, I'm glad as hell I didn't attend.

    I disagree. I think the exclusion of black gnomes kept down the theft in the computer lab. The labs would stink to high heaven if indian gnomes were allowed.

    No offense, but just beccause you wanted to go to MIT and didn't get in (or didn't even apply) doesn't mean that the sun rises and sets in their campus. This isn't even a good prank or a particularly interesting one. In fact I think its pretty damn lame.
