Slashdot Mirror
Mega Mags, Life Sized Magnetic Toys
A random user noted MegaMags , a life size version of the popular MiniMag toys available at ThinkGeek
(TG is owned by OSTG, the parent company of Slashdot, so activate all conspiracy theories now).
You can also look into the new iPod accessory iCopulate which allows intimacy between mp3 players never before fantasized. And for the suit that has everything, Executve Pong.

I didn't fall for it in my email this morning, I'm not falling for it here!
Some of the products are really funny though. Especially the green laser airline tracker.
I had a sucky sig.
a lot. Maybe I should whore myself on Thinkgeek... Then again maybe not.

I just don't waste time at work as well because I don't feel like reading these stories
That would make a great system for disposing of AOL CD's, retired floppy disks, etc. If the media is magnetic, it can erase it. Otherwise, it can simply crush it to death.
Bet this pisses off those people with the "dupe post" hate-on. Two words: "GET OVER IT".
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of.
Worst part is, both were posted By Taco

The funny thing is that someone out there would have bought the "executive pong".

The title is different, and it was posted by different people, it can't *possibly* be a dupe
I'm not so much upset about my liver leaving me. Its really fair enough, I guess. But did it have to take the dog?
There has to be some Xmen geek somewhere with a big homoerotic fixation on Magneto. But, I mean, really.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Generally, bash is superior to python in those environments where python is not installed.
My favorite part: "Directly" is, evidently, faster than real-time! :) Happy 4/1.... 4/20 will be happier.
I thought, looking at a lot of these, that they would be things someone might legitimately buy, if for a conversation piece if nothing else. I wonder if Aprl Fools' day joke might double as a way to actually sell things.
After all, I'm giving away Google Gulp caps for free -- I got one in the mail last night, see -- but I hear some people are selling them on eBay.

-> Sit back and collect all of the mod points from 11am.
Sigh, if they want to something original. How about hosting
Here's a reply post. I'm just going to write whatever. I figure if Slashdot doesn't have to try today, neither do I.
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
there must be some economic incentive to push ThinkGeek today...
That's the joke, genius.

You guys should put up a static /. home page that says "due to the amount of great news today, the slashdot site has been slashdotted." Comedy gold, I tell you.
The purposeful dupes_weren't funny last year, either.. :(
Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds.There upon the rainbow is the answer to a neverending story
I think that ruined everyones April Fools Day, this has turned to a nonsense stupid stuff. :-b

Quick too!
DAMN YOU OCTODOG! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
Its too bad Slashdot will never become a reputible source for news when they pull stunts like these every year.
Is it possible to mod the entire Slashdot website, the entire day, as -2 Redundant?
Damn, that must be a record for dup stories...
Wow, reposting something he himself posted 6 articles ago. This must be a new dupe record for Taco. I guess we know who the April Fool is this year.
Have fun: Join D.N.A. (National Dyslexics Association)
And why is it that they only announce their connection with TG on April Fools, and not on any of the other occasions when they post a TG Slashvertisement?

That's not funny that's just annoying... we'd get even more internal server errors then usual, along with the bad M$ error page.
I put the MegaMags in my trunk and drove home. On my way, I heard a giant "click", almost as if a satellite had taken my photo. While I was distracted, I ran off the road and hit a man. I went to see if he was okay, but just before he died, he thanked me for putting him out of his misery. It seems he had contracted the human form of a PC virus. As I got back into my car, I noticed Tiger Woods and Paris Hilton fighting in front of Fry's. Paris was yelling something about more exposure. When Tiger clubbed her with a 5-iron, I decided it was time to leave.
Once I got home, I set the MegaMags next to my PC, and it completely erased my hard drive. I was really upset because I had just installed my new Gentoo NT distribution.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.
:)
Sure it's not funny. But that doesn't really seem to matter today

Well, to be fair the giant magnets were added. Although I have to say it was a pretty sloppy job on the photoshopping (or was it GIMPing?). The connector spheres' reflections are all wrong. It kinda jumped out at me. I think they were a little too ambitious on this one. The other catalog entries at least looked plausable...

Well, given the passionately violent responses to dupes normally seen around here, Taco would certainly not do this intentionally...
Sounds like a conspiracy!

Jesus ed's. Come on its April 1st and you still managed to dupe. THERES NOTHING GOING ON AND THE ARTICLES WERE A FEW HOURS APART.
Sheesh.

Check out the other items, I've figured out the shirt anagram, its pretty cool.
The purposeful dupes weren't funny last year, either.. :(
Who said this was on purpose?
I extracted "Think Geek" and "Fools" from the string, and fed the rest to an anagram generator
"Terri Schiavo awoke from the dead early this morning. She broke out of the temporary morgue in the local Hospice Care building. Four nurses and 2 doctors were killed before the building was evacuated. Mrs. Schiavo's Husband remained behind, obviously in shock. Zombie-Schiavo ate her Husband's brains(sssss), and then proceeded to break out of the Hospice Building through the locked front doors. Police were standing by. While attempting to stop Zombie-Schiavo twelve officers were killed and five more were wounded. They are in critical condition, and are being held in the local ICU. Zombie-Schiavo was last seen shambling towards her parent's home, a trail of bodies and brains in her wake. She appears to be building a Zombie Army. To what end, we can only speculate. The National Guard has been called out, and the terror level raised to Yellow. President Bush was unavailable for comment."
DAMN YOU OCTODOG! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
It amazes me that if people posting here are in IT, a world where nothing is ever good enough and the standards of the customer are too high. Then aren't you all being hypocrites by applying your customer's standards to slashdot? The editors are having fun, give them a break. All I see on here is hate post after hate post every single day. It also amazes me when someone has the time to lookup all of the repeat articles and post them like they discovered gold. Are people on here proud that they can put down slashdot everyday? Does it help the low self esteem that runs rampant on here? Go read another site if you're too smart for this one.
