hahaha that's an awesome article. I just wish that it, and the other two articles linked in it weren't from 2001.
Using Linux since June 2007
Distros: Mint 12
SPECS: AMD Atholon 64 X2 5400+, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8800 GTS
When your whole life is on one computer, servers and all, choose stability over anything else.

Weird... sounds almost like it might have been an impostor saying these things.

True... but even then it was a good chuckle!
And even if it's made up, they do say that truth is stranger than fiction!
I really do wish that I had some fool-proof way to confirm it, though!

If you look on the website it originated from, you will find that a lot of unbelievable articles exist there. It's false, I say.... but I wish it were true.

More likely to be spoofs kind of like the Onion, very funny though Originally Posted by ozar If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate! (Zapp Brannigan)

bbspot has been around for ages. Think "The Onion" for the slashdot crowd.
If you believe a single article that gets posted on it, it's one too many that you've believed in but it passes the time.Aloof linux user #whatever.
I tested off the charts for MENSA. Unfortunately, it was off the wrong end of the chart.
