Linux Developer Gets Laid

Philadelphia, PA - In news that is sure to excite the Linux community,
long time Linux developer Todd Stanton got laid.

Happy Todd"I still have trouble believing it myself," said Todd.  "I was
doing some coding when my power supply blew.  Instead of pulling out the
spare like I usually would, I decided to head down to Best Buy to check
out the new DVD releases.   Nothing new was out, so I bought another
copy of  'The Matrix' since the one I had was pretty worn out.  Turns
out the checkout girl was a Matrix fan too and well one thing led to
another."

Word spread rapidly on message boards and on IRC.  "It's pretty
irresponsible of him and shows his lack of dedication to Linux and the
open source movement," said Fred Simpson.  "If others try to emulate
this behavior then a lot of projects could get derailed."

Others like Gary Wilcox were glad to hear the news, "We're tired of all
those Microsoft developers shoving their Win-Ho's in our face.  Now we
can tell them about Todd.  Who's laughing now?"

Some developers are also excited that this may increase their chances of
getting lucky, but most are being realistic.  Walker Crandall said, "We
thought we'd all be doing the hokey-pokey after Bill Fitzsimmons got
some during the LinuxWorld Conference in 1999.  We were fooling
ourselves.  Nobody got nothing."

This is the third such occurrence for Linux developers since 1991.
