I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
<rant> That would imply pwn == pawn. It doesn't. It's a typo of "own". Once upon a time, uber1337 k1ddi3z would say "ownez". But, as often happens on teh internet, somebody made a typo. Look at your keyboard. 'P' is right next to 'O'. "I pawn your machine" makes no sense. The hacker hocked it for dope money? No, he owns it, as in he stole it from you. See also http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Apwn, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn. Please, it's not pawn, people, it's own. </rant>
Unfortunately, I do have to admit it's still pretty funny... Cheers.
