Techie Fight Clubs Springing Up

Browncoat writes "USAToday reports a new phenomenon hitting some of the cubicles of Silicon Valley. It seems that engineers and developers previously confined to sitting in front of their computers are getting their anger out the healthy way: by pummeling each other. From the article 'Inspired by the 1999 film Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt and Ed Norton, underground bare-knuckle brawling clubs have sprung up across the country as a way for desk jockeys and disgruntled youths to vent their frustrations and prove themselves. "This is as close as you can get to a real fight, even though I've never been in one," the soft-spoken Siou said.'"

    I am sick to death of Fight Club. People talking about it, quoting it, watching it over and over.

    Now, I can simply point this practice out, and state without room for dissent that it is finally and completely over.

    It's sad, too, because if people would give it a rest I actually liked the book and the movie.
