Pretty much everything on Slashdot today. Some are funny, but most are lame.

GN'R Forum in Chaos as supposed "leak" of the GN'R song IRS that was played on the radio in 2003 is finally leaked on the net. Don't know if it's fake yet but you never know.

These types of stunts were more amusing before they started talking about them on the news the day before. The Think Geek one, for instance, I heard about on the news yesterday. If not for that, it might have actually garnered a chuckle.

This product at thinkgeeks is GREAT!

SkyTag? - Green Laser Aircraft Tracker
We've always been enamored of the green laser pointer here at ThinkGeek. The way it looks, the way it points, that mesmerizing green beam it projects. But we became tired of pointing such an advanced piece of physics on the white board, or using it to mess with cats and dogs. That's why we created SkyTag?, the world's first GPS green laser pointer mounted in a motorized base that allows you to track and tag aircraft at your own convenience!

Hey, speaking of google (googlegulp above)

Google doesn't have a different look to it today... just the same boring page.. no court jester or anything like that.
Slacking off at the google headquarters???

This got a chuckle:

8. What if none of my friends have a Gulp cap to give me? Can't you just give Google Gulp to anyone who wants it?

Well, we're thinking about it, but, um, you have to understand that there are many considerations which go into deciding how to distribute --

9. I mean, isn't this whole invite-only thing kind of bogus?

Dude, it's like you've never even heard of viral marketing.

I downloaded PG2 last night (well this morning I guess, around 12:30am) and actually believed this for the first few paragraphs
