    Gosh... sorry about all the lines, but that was the only way I could get it to show up in the format that it's supposed to be in.

    Heh... thanks. It just sort of came randomly while I was watching a sunset.

    I would like to point out that this is from age 13... but it is the one that won the context (for reasons I still don't quite understand) so there ya go.

    Coolness, I like it. It would be better without the lines though. ;-)

    Hey, that's the kind of thing that gives composers something to do. I can really hear the music that goes with it. I also like that you did something real. A lot of poetry today is based on the King's New Clothes principal. This, though- this is a sunset. Reminds me of Pascal a bit.
    Very good. You have something there.

    I've been wondering, where'd "pwned" come from?

    Power owned.

    Oh. Cool site. My theory is on there.

     
  • At 8/21/2005 9:28 PM, Blogger Herohtar said…

    Your theory?

    ^

    That's always what I assumed when I fist heard it 4 years ago. People started saying "power owned" on StarCraft and CounterStrike. Then a couple months later or so it seemed to be shortened to "pwned." But everyone has their theories. Actualy, only the very most nerdy really develoup theories for this sort of thing. Anyway, they mention "Power owned" on the site you gave.

    Ah, well my theory was that it was just a typo of "owned".

    That's what I was thinking, too. But then it got used so much I figured it was on purpose.

     
  • At 8/22/2005 1:49 PM, Blogger Herohtar said…

    Yeah, it's on purpose most of the time now, unless someone is really trying to type owned and hit the 'p' instead of the 'o'
