I am starting to notice "Fail" in more and more posts when someone thinks someone else has said something incorrect. Is it a video game thing?
It's an internet fad, kinda like the lolcats. http://images.google.com/images?hl=...uggestions&resnum=0&ct=property-revision&cd=3 http://failblog.org/ They're pretty funny to be honest. They poke fun at some of the stupid mistakes that people make. They are kinda like watered down Darwin Awards. Haha.
No. Because they are slightly different meanings, even though they can overlap sometimes. Fail would be if you made a stupid post that makes no sense. Pwned would be if you made a stupid post that makes no sense, then someone responds with the correct answer, making you look foolish in the process.
The "fail" thing started on message boards where people posted lots of images. When someone said something that was really obviously stupid, someone else would post a picture of someone in the process of failing at something with a "Fail!" caption. Eventually people got lazy and stopped bothering with the picture. "Pwned" came from multiplayer first-person shooters back in the mid 1990s. It started out as people taunting their opponents by saying things like "I own you!" or something similar. It quickly became a common thing for people to type "owned!" to taunt people who they had just killed. But because the game was still going on, they had to type very quickly and would sometimes hit the wrong keys, like the p instead of the o. Which was funny, so people started doing it on purpose. Although really it would just as often come out as 9wned or ownef or any other variation.

I'm sure you could drive off and rip out a section of the fence, but most thieves would probably realize that driving away with a piece of a fence dangling on a chain from your bumper is probably a great way to get pulled over by the first cop that see you.
I don't think a small section of that fence would be ripped out very easily but exactly, whether it's the whole fence or a section of it, certainly gonna put you off stealing it!!!
no its one of those things that takes off. fail means you lose, opposite of you win then the cool kids see that ans say hey that looks f'n cool i;m gonna use that and so there you have it.
Oh damn, it is! "Attention to Detail" failure on my part! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
