Hi, you all may not know me, but I'm one of the daytime (8AM-6PM EST) crapflooders here on Slashdot. While I don't normally hit/. at night, I decided to browse through real quick before bed and came upon this attempted troll.
While well crafted, it is full of glaring inconsistencies that detract from it.
...Chicago sprayed with anthrax...millions of innocent men, women and children were exterminated like insects.
Anthrax doesn't kill instantly. It'd be a couple of weeks before the millions of people ended up exterminated. Since this is "breaking" news, they likely wouldn't be dead yet.
Nuclear explosion in New York City...somewhere in the magnitude of 15 megatons...
15 megatons is large even for military weapons. Most weapons in the US arsenal are 100-500 kt weapons, with only a few reaching above 1 megaton (Yes, we used to have a 25 megaton monstrosity, but those have been retired). It takes a lot of complex engineering and expensive materials to create a thermonuclear device. It's more likely they'd use a fission device which would peak at 500 kt (Largest ever fission device - Ivy King 1951).
All of these countries have been hit by at least five Titan II ICBM's.
This is the most glaring error. Titan IIs were deactivated throughout the 1980's, and were completely deactivated in 1987. So unless you're implying that one of our embassy workers went out and threw model Titan II paperweights at people, this isn't too likely.
Also, your target choices are kinda sketchy. We aren't upset with India, we're not too upset with Pakistan and the Phillipines, and Afghanistan and Somolia are festering shitholes. Iraq is really the only target in that list with even a remotely realistic chance of getting nuked.
Like I said, overall well crafted but lacking in a lot of areas. Modify and try again. However, since most people aren't blithering morons, you're not going to get many bites except for people like me who will correct you.
Oh, and one more thing, before anyone responds to this and says "YHBT blah blah blah," this is Troll Feed. I'm allowing myself to be trolled in order to try to get more trolling going on.
That's a trick question. He wouldn't have been able to explain it. At best he could have "explained" it. You know, Freud was full of shit and wanted to fuck his own mother. He should have stuck with guys.
I'm sorry, but you didn't quote any of the required sources. This answer can not be accepted. 0 points
> Do these pants make my butt look big?
I wish they did. I hate guys with skinny butts.
Somewhat original, but lacking the quality I was expecting. 2 points
> Are the Slashdot editors the flaming homosexuals that everyone makes them out to be? If so, what impact does this have on the fate of VA Software?
Yes. None whatsoever. Free software is equally gay.
Quick, to the point, answers every question completely. Full credit. 10 points
> Are you going to eat that?
Your withered penis? No thanks.
Your unoriginal and uninspired attempt to light your flamethrower failed. Rather than a brilliant plume of flame, you looked like one of those toy spark guns. No credit. 0 points
> Does this bother you? I'm not touching you.
Yeah, but you're oogling my man-boobs. Please stop. I'm not going to sleep with you
This attempt at lighting the flamethrower ended up spraying back on yourself. Your painfully pitiful attempt to trash on me failed miserably, and even your insult on yourself was rather sad. No credit. 0 points

I'm sorry, you do not graduate. Study harder, perhaps next time you will pass. Of course, without an account you never will.
I noticed that from years 1983 to 1985 you were neither an All-Star nor a Golden Glove winner. Why is this?
I heard that you died in 1990, and were replaced by a reproduction of a late 18'th century Federal Period chiffarobe. Is this true?
Do you have the time?
I have recurring dreams that I'm falling, and just before I hit the ground I wake up. How would Freud have explained this? Please cite either his book Beyond the Pleasure Principle or any of his "Three Essays on Sexuality".

In the 1905 Treaty of Pourtsmith that ended the Russo-Japanese War, Article VII states:
The imperial Governments of Japan and Russia with the view to promote and facilitate intercourse and traffic will as soon as possible conclude a separate convention for the regulation of their connecting railway services in Manchuria.
What impact did this have on the industrialization of China, leading up to the collision between a Chinese F-8 fighter and a US EP-3 surveilence aircraft?
Does this bother you? I'm not touching you.
Given the fact that LDL cholesterol has been named as an increased risk factor for Heart Disease, do you support the Kyoto Treaty which reduces pollution? Please cite one of the following; The United States Declaration of Independence, Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss, or a Classified Ad in today's Washington Post.
No, black chunks are caused by digested blood. While a warning sign of colon cancer, black chunks in the stool can also be an indicator of stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, or Tyne Daley.
Perhaps if the nerds weren't stabbing each other in the throats because they misspelled "w00t!" after shooting the shit out of each other in Counter-Strike, this wouldn't be an issue.
Heaven forbid we forget that this isn't about the violence of the games, but is about juvenile deliquency in general. It is contrary to the public interests to let juveniles be out unsupervised after a certain time.
When you come up with a good way to get these geeks to give each other cupcakes and make nicey-nice, then you can complain!

You think we should just claim the entire story?

Indeed!
Gotta start the day off right!

See, I can play this game too!
Beautiful. Mad propz
But not by birth. More like one of those nasty plot twist things.

And props to you sir. Congratulations on your beautiful First Post. Way to stick it to the ACs.

Thank you for your time sir.Anyone have any Gold Bond medicated powder?
FP by the way.
For me, hot grits in my pants are no longer an issue, as all pants I wear now are made entirely thereof!

This word is good for haiku
It has done me proud
We're all unique in our own special ways. I'm glad you find my posts entertaining. Everyone has their niche, I simply have one that you enjoy.
As a thank you for your compliment, I have a haiku for you!

HAHA!
In case moderation changes, this person has had both his posts moderated as "Flamebait"
I'm hoping Tyson gets the munchies again!

Wait...
You seem to have mistaken me for someone who gives a damn.
I didn't actually read it. Something tells me it's chock-full of unbiased journalism and ethical reporting. Yes, this long link is indeed intentional.
