Assorted Bits of Halloween
Update: 10/31 19:30 GMT by C : Barry sent in this one for you Apple lovers: "I saw your Linux jack-o-lantern, but how about this? The guys over at iPodHacks.com have actually carved an iPod into a pumpkin, creating the world's only iPod-o-Lantern. That's 7000 songs in your...pumpkin. Thought you might want to update the Halloween posting, as this is an ideal fit."
Also, David Clubb submits this achievement for your consideration: "Since it's Halloween, we at the
University of Rochester's Computer
Interest Floor decided to build a web server out of a pumpkin. We dissembled a 100MHz PII and placed it into a 54 lbs. pumpkin. It runs
Gentoo and can be accessed
here. Please don't Slashdot it too
badly!"
And it just wouldn't be Halloween without the following, from a nameless submittor: "To quote the site, 'Extreme Halloween Fright.' A fairly comprehensive guide to making your pumpkin a bit more hi-tech using power tools, and perhaps the definitive pumpkin trepanning site." Pumpkins and powertools. How can you go wrong?

That's the funniest fucking thing I've seen all week!

"And this is my boy, Sherman. Speak, Sherman." "Hello." "Good boy."
Scary.
For example... this is my first post EVER on Slashdot after being an observer for quite a few years now.
And going out on halloween is scary too... for example, I've never done the costume thing but my girlfriend has just called and has concocted some crazy plan which now boils down to me ACTUALLY THINKING about obtaining a chain saw.
Now friends, THAT is scary.
I s'pose this "first message" will gain no kudos from those who score these sorts of things, but beware... it is halloween.

I posted this on deadly.org last year, and it got enough hits that I think the Slashdot community would enjoy it: a picture of my black cat "causing" bad magic. :-)

I must disagree. There is no holiday, however evil or pagan, that makes listening to Michael Jackson ok.
In fact, I can't think of ANY event, however profound, that could justify something like that.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

After building their l33t pumpkin server, the geeks settled down to some D&D. After rolling a 26 and casting a spell of protection, a curious odor could be smelled wafting around the room. It wasn't the usual unwashed geek, it had a decidedly female scent.
They put down their die and walked toward the room with their pumpkin server. The door creeked open and a haunting sight was in their midst. Some of them passed out, others began weeping uncontrollably. The more dauntless of the group stepped closer, and closer to......
