I thought the Onion was Fake News?
This article comes from Brent who found it in the Onion. This article is so short I'll copy it in its entirety:Gmail User Pities Hotmail User
OLYMPIA, WA—Recent Gmail convert William Ramsak, 23, said Monday that his "heart goes out to" friend Kelly Oldenburg, who still sends e-mail through an MSN Hotmail account. "I feel so bad for you, needing to squeeze into 250 MB of storage space," Ramsak wrote to Oldenburg in an e-mail. "And I hate thinking of you sorting all your old e-mail, while Gmail automatically indexes mine so they are searchable." Ramsak then asked Oldenburg when he was going to "stop being a Microstooge and join Team G."
The funny thing is that this probably happens when:
int numGeeks;
int numNonGeeks;
numGeeks = nerdSearch(100ft);
numNonGeeks = humanSearch(100ft)-numGeeks;
if(numGeeks/numNonGeeks > 1.5){
human Geek = randomGeek();
for(int i=0; i<numNonGeeks; i++){
human nonGeek = getNextPerson();
while(nonGeek.GmailUser() == FALSE){
Geek.praiseGmail(nonGeek);
Geek.inviteGmail(nonGeek);
}
}
}
The funny thing is i knew this was over the line before i started, but i kept going. once I started it was too tough to stop. Anyone want a gmail account? I got 50 invites!
