LaserMonks Offer Prayer, Printer Cartridges
Minnesotan writes "According to a Twincities.com article: If you need discounted inkjet- or laser-printer cartridges, Wisconsin's LaserMonks say they'll give you a doozy of a deal while you 'support prayer for the world'. The Cistercian priests - yes, they're actual Catholic monks - oversee a novel e-commerce enterprise out of their rural abbey. Proceeds go to maintain the monastery and finance charitable works around the world."
Noticed they were using ASP, from the Evil empire....heathens!!! Oh wait they're monks, and they offer me prayers so does that cancel out and make them ok again?

LaserMonks? With a name like that, they've got to be electric!

Refilling your Lexmark cartridge isn't just a DMCA violation -- it's a sin!
Somebody had to say it.
This is a manual virus. Copy it to your sig and help me spread!
Whether Lexmark will attempt to DMCA them?
That'll make for a wonderful headeline:
"Lexmark to sue monks"
Still, can't help but think of Brother Theo from Babylon 5, great character.
I wonder if slashdoting the website of monks is actually a sin...

After Sharks with frickin laser beams didn't work out.... Dr Evil hatches his next plot - LASERMONKS
mwhhhahhahahaha mwhhhaaaa
Looking over the page's source, it looks like they borrowed a lot of their JavaScript. Talk about copying scripture...

A DMCA suit then appears inevitable.

I'm pretty sure slashdotting a bunch of monks is asking for plague, famine, or at least a couple of lightning bolts.
A witchdoctor toner refiller who could put a curse on SCO with each cartridge purchase.
"Eve of Destruction", it's not just for old hippies anymore...
Wisconsin's LaserMonks say they'll give you a doozy of a deal
Are these LaserMonks related to the Electric Monk by any chance?

Welcome our new monk overlords, well actually they kinda are if they talk to god and all.
In my prayers tonight: "God, give me strength to put up with my job to take care of my Fiance..."
God: "I can do that for you, but buy some new toner for your HP Laserjet 1100 for only $50 at http://www.lasermonks.com and you'll get a raise and your Fiance will love you forever..."

In the year 5057 A.D., a consortum of middle aged monks form a weapons production business, selling their wares exclusively to Christian battle outposts and missionaries in distant galaxies, fighting a holy war against the masses of Romulan infidels...
and so these intergalatic boomstick hawkers called themselves...PhaserMonks.
Next time, log out before copy-pasting Slashdot in your AC post, Dumbo ...
can I also buy an absolution? :-)
can I get discounts if I buy dozens?
That not even God can stand a slashdotting.
Kind of like the priest from my hometown that found an interesting thing to do with duck poop...

Having fewer signups into priesthood, the Catholic Church officially announced that they will be issuing standard lasers to people who complete the training program. The Pope noted that "this is a momentous occasion. Since the film Star Wars came out, the Church had contemplated issuing Light Sabers but did not want the public to know that we had such technology. Until now, we only dress like jedi knights."
On a more serious note, it's a difficult job raising money in a monastery. Unless you happen to attract genetically altered rich folks that answer to the name "47" (Hitman 2), you'll need to find creative ways to earn a living. I've heard quite a few that have products for sale ranging from seasonal fruitcake, chocolates, and now toner cartridges.
Wake me when the amish start selling toner cartridges.
Would you like friars with that?
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
do they only sell Brother ink cartridges?
Yes, if a Christmas tree tastes like cheap aftershave.
The REAL plug 'n pray ;-)
I am not a number! I am a man! And don't you
I think they could argue that God gave them permission to copy the bible...
I hope so, or there's gonna be one hell of a lawsuit
The path I walk alone is endlessly long.

A priest selling duck poo? Holy shi....
Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a real useful invention.
If you don't at least see little people its not really worth it. I'll just have another Guinness.
Quack, quack.

Takes a jerk to sue monks? WTF? We are talking catholic monks here. If anyone needs to be sued, its flat-earth believing, copernicus-killing, book-burning, orphan-molesting, anti-science, creation-believing, anti-birth control, each-other-sodomizing, sodomy-condemning, oral-sex-condemning, bible bashing, hypocritical, catholic monks.
We have a lot to sue these clowns for not just DMCA violations.
