    Check out the amazing Yoshi girl and her playful tentacle friend! Rides starting soon at $29.99 (Saddle not included; children ride for half-price).

    Yoshi-girl is genetically engineered to be in constant sexual heat and is guaranteed to pounce on even the smelliest nerd with little coaxing! Spending a few hours with Yoshi-girl is sure to be the most gratifying experience you've had in years. Don't believe us? Just look at these testimonials from previous customers:

    Hunched over in that uncomfortable chair writing Linux kernel code all day was really tense. Human girls wouldn't come near me, but Yoshi-girl treated me like I was the last man on Earth. Two thumbs up!
    -- Linus Torvalds

    Sure she's not human, but it sure beats all the sleazy Mexican whores I've been with, and believe me, I've been with more than you can count. You go Yoshi!

    You gotta love the 2-foot-long tongue.

  2. google has sold out to commerce rankings by Cryofan · · Score: 0, Troll

    Google now accepts payments for rankings. If you start a website that comes up highly ranked on queries, but if there are paying customers in that area, google will de-rank your site unless you pay.

    use teoma and alltheweb instead of google.

    Google has censored San Francisco Indymedia because of anti-Israel statements, but lets anti-Arab websites be listed.

  5. Microsoft's new search is going to eat Google by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    You fools have no idea how much better Microsoft's search is going to be simply because it's going to be integrated into the Windows OS and make searching with it the default. And besides, since Google is based on a Linux cluster I have a right to despise it since that OS is worth shit. Anyone worth their salt knows that Microsoft has the ultimate clustering technology and you don't need to use a stinking CLI to operate it. I can't wait until you cock smoking Linux users are just a bad memory and Microsoft is hard at work figuring out how to do that. How do I know this? I work for Microsoft. You isiots have no idea how far we've moved internally. You will NEVER be able to catch up now.
