    I just finished placing my online order for various Linksys Wireless equipment, then surf over to /. and the top story is "Wireless LAN Equipment Shipments Up...top vendor is Linksys". Man, those internet tracking and market analysis systems are getting too advanced now... :-)

    SLASHDOT CITY--Slashdot.org has been brought up on animal cruelty charges because of an experiment involving the deaths of over 20,000 carrier pigeons.

    "We were just starting to test a new slashdot webserver using carrier pigeons. All of a sudden tens of thousands of anonymous cowards started posting, overwhelming the pigeons' bandwidth," said the Slashdot.org official on the condition of anonymity.

    The official said later that the pigeons somehow got malformed information (packets) and started crashing into each other, eventually resulting in their deaths.

    There were reports of a large, troll-like creature in the area as well, but so far those claims are unsubstantiated.
