WirePosted writes "Santa is in trouble, it looks like supplying the Christmas need for a Nintendo Wii game console is in jeopardy as stocks wither under constant and heavy demand. Conspiracy believers suggest this is an orchestrated move on behalf of Nintendo." Since this happens to be what I want for Christmas, I hope they work it out, or my loving wife has already found one.

Why would Nintendo want to sell more units than it takes to meet their projected sales for the quarter?

my 360 didn't come with built-in wireless, that was a quick $100 tack-on right there

You can't have democracy if all you want to do is take from others.

That's the operational definition of democracy: two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.

Post an ad for a "Wee with 3 games". If any resellers take the bait, send them exactly that -- a sealed container of "wee" with three games. Isn't that taking the piss?

I've never heard skint used as a noun before. "You're skint" seems correct to me vs "You're a skint" ( Disclaimer: All corrections contain at least one error. I await correction for whatever I just did wrong. )
Skint isn't a noun, at least as far as British English goes, so you're correct. Given this fact, your comment contained no errors, making your assertion that "all corrections contain at least one error" itself incorrect. However this indeed satisfies the condition that your comment did indeed contain an error (the aforementioned assertion). And now I'm stuck in a paradox from which I may never escape.
