  1. Southern Metalhead Population Devastated by robdeadtech · · Score: 5, Funny

    Metalheads from as far south as Miami, as far north as Atlanta, and as far west as Memphis were seen hurtling through the air at breakneck speed headed toward the city of Tallahassee.

    Tampa, known for it's unusually dense Death Metal population, was particularly hard hit.

    Why do I get the feeling that the following scene will be rather common among the professors present at this event:

    Clerk:"Uh, Sir, the American Express card didn't work either. All of your credit cards are totally blank."
    Scientist Guy: "Son of a BITCH!"

    SCIENTIST GUY then proceeds to consciously attract a crowbar from the Crowbar Aisle to his hands via his newfound magnetic powers and beat CLERK senseless.

    ok maybe not that last part though...
