  • RoryQ, on 06/22/2008, -19/+747Wait, they had an Animated Gif section then? Bring it back! there's more Gifs now than there ever was.
    [/ignorance of faux retro digg]
    • MazeKaz, on 06/22/2008, -9/+213This looks like reddit.
      • wardrox, on 06/22/2008, -37/+7No it doesn't.
        • Asheis, on 06/22/2008, -0/+12yes, it does, actually. I was thinking the same exact thing.
      • celkin, on 06/22/2008, -0/+72I must be getting old...because I've seen this on the front page before :-/
        • therightclique, on 06/22/2008, -0/+21yeah, it was less than a year ago.
        • oxthemoron, on 06/22/2008, -0/+31It's made an appearance every year since 95...
    • mCanada, on 06/22/2008, -19/+2it's called /b/
      • Ninjab3ar, on 06/22/2008, -4/+8No, it's called /gif/
        • FucangLong, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Uh, you have no idea what he's talking about, do you
      • mrallen86, on 06/22/2008, -3/+1You are in violation of rule 2.
        • IronPwnage, on 06/22/2008, -4/+2Rules ONE AND Two only apply to raids, newfag.
    • Beowulf2112, on 06/22/2008, -100/+1Its horribly PhotoShoped. Digg wasn't online until Dec 04...
    • faraggi, on 06/22/2008, -1/+20I don´t think the tag was necessary...
      • linkinpark342, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1I believe you understimate the power of the mob... Someone will have missed it...
    • TheMime, on 06/22/2008, -1/+47Digg in January 2004

      • nthitz, on 06/22/2008, -0/+18minus the css/javascript...
      • juliajean, on 06/22/2008, -0/+2"It's a large download, about 18Megs. But well worth it. A guy is creating sandscapes... It's really hard to describe. But, well worth the download... It's amazing what he can do..."
      • bowe, on 06/22/2008, -1/+2actually, kinda inspiring how simple beginnings can grow into an uncontrollable cloud of obamaronpauliphonetaser loving mess.
      • TheDarkTipper, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3Here's a picture of digg with the css/javascript in 2004:

    • freqk, on 06/22/2008, -1/+28Not to mention the axe in Quake getting 1337 diggs...
      ...I see what he did there...
    • bluenash, on 06/22/2008, -1/+9back in the day i downloaded the 'dancing baby gif' for my mom. she got a big kick out of it. guess you had to be there and living it.
    • Hazardc, on 06/22/2008, -9/+7back then, animated gifs were awful tacky images used to make webpages pop out more. that fact plus everyone being on 56k at best for the most part made them full of fail

      animated gifs these days are full of win and just used to make what are basically short movies
    • rz8472, on 06/23/2008, -9/+3Buried, MMX didn't exist in 1995 and neither did the whole Bill Clinton impeachment thing!
  • aacidusX, on 06/22/2008, -79/+19dupe. i think you were still in 1995.
  • Griny, on 06/22/2008, -84/+26"Microsoft announces Windows 97" - LOL
    • Duggan360, on 06/22/2008, -6/+58You've quoted it like it wasn't supposed to be funny...
      • rabidg00se, on 06/22/2008, -18/+2I don't get it, unless it's intentionally wrong. In that case, it's not all that funny.
        • Metasquares, on 06/22/2008, -0/+32Windows 98 was originally expected in 1997. It isn't wrong; it's an accurate historical perspective :)
        • 142TeeTH, on 06/22/2008, -0/+8It was the developing name, back when it was expected on an earlier release date.
          And seeing as how in 1995, they thought it was going to out for '97, thus titling the article "Windows 97", it's funny.
    • Krissam, on 06/22/2008, -3/+7actually they did, it was called Windows 97, untill well.. they realized it wouldn't get released on time i guess... i still remember reading an article on it back in like 96 or something.
    • burnin8r28, on 06/22/2008, -3/+2that sounds familiar...
  • baylat, on 06/22/2008, -97/+9A potential graveyard! Let me taste dirt please.
    • kujo740, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1I've looked at this comment three times. On the third time, I dugg you down. Jeez am I lazy.
  • gregory533185, on 06/22/2008, -55/+10Rockets beat the Magic, that Shaq guy will never win a champinship I tell you!!
  • JustAn0th3rFace, on 06/22/2008, -68/+14hah.. the 3d baby.. dugg because i completely forgot about that.
    • LeonidasStokely, on 06/22/2008, -1/+28No you didn't.
    • alkaline3217, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Funny, "digg it" doesn't come to mind when something reminds me of that ***** baby
  • neuens07, on 06/22/2008, -67/+8Haha, The axe in quake is 1337

    Also, I guess there were no grammar nazi's back then
    "funny skit i seen on snl!"
    "omg this is the funniest thing i seen evar!"
    • SilentRamble42, on 06/22/2008, -6/+2Buried for "1337"
      • neuens07, on 06/22/2008, -0/+7look at the picture again, It has 1337 diggs.

        I hate leet speek, but found it kinda ironic (even though after reading through all the comments, found out that it is fake)
    • burnin8r28, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1those quake fan boys need their own page
  • bobbymoney, on 06/22/2008, -52/+758Fake!
    • noseeme, on 06/22/2008, -90/+18You do realize it's a joke, right? It wasn't intended to fool you into believing it is real.
      • vat0r, on 06/22/2008, -2/+43Hmmm I thought it might be real for a second. Consider me an idiot.
      • shakbhaji, on 06/22/2008, -0/+38Have you ever heard of sarcasm?
        • jimminy, on 06/22/2008, -0/+39Maybe he is deaf, you insensitive clod!
        • FadieZ, on 06/22/2008, -0/+8I don't know about you but I don't hear with my eyes.
        • KingOoohEe, on 06/23/2008, -4/+1I love how all the Digg nerds think sarcasm is so easy to recognize on the INTERNETZ! Its nearly impossible to distinguish between idiots and actual trolls. Like that Amazon review of vista
    • MexAzn24, on 06/22/2008, -6/+243You do realize he was joking, unless you are joking that he is joking. If so then the joke is a funny joke.
      • Jo9100, on 06/22/2008, -55/+4Ever heard of the reply button? USE IT. It's not an option to do so. I'm burying you.
      • DRFU, on 06/22/2008, -3/+34Complex jokes are funny. I was joking.
      • drizzlelicious, on 06/23/2008, -1/+10I'm not joking, but that was a joke.
        • JM13, on 06/23/2008, -0/+13You must be joking...
        • longbow486, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2ya know after reading a word over and over again it starts to sound like a foreign word
          weird...
    • lex0nyc, on 06/22/2008, -12/+3Duh!
    • MasterGrief, on 06/22/2008, -10/+130Definitely shopped. Look at the shadows.
      • Tripper44, on 06/22/2008, -28/+2*****! this is the stupidest post ive ever seen lol
      • Shiner6, on 06/22/2008, -16/+2If the shadows are what made you realize it was shopped, you need to leave Digg.
        • rentmitchum, on 06/22/2008, -0/+5If you didn't realize he was making a joke you need to leave digg.
        • lukak, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3wooosh
      • qbthemc, on 06/23/2008, -2/+10I hope you are not talking about black people.
      • BobTheTaco, on 06/23/2008, -3/+1I see what you did there >.>
    • Goblin, on 06/22/2008, -4/+193Obviously, MrBabyMan doesn't have a story on the front page there.
      • oilcan, on 06/22/2008, -1/+106that's cuz MrBabyMan was MrEmbryoMan at the time and couldn't type yet.
        • jaynemother, on 06/22/2008, -2/+51I think he was actually MrSemenMan back then
        • coredump0x01, on 06/22/2008, -1/+39He was most likely MrUnabsorbedAminoAcidsMan then.
        • jamdogg, on 06/22/2008, -5/+31I've found out he was MrCarbon,Nitrogen,Hydrogen,SulfurAndOxygenAtomsWithTheQuantumPotentialToFormAminoAcidsMan back then.
        • staffell, on 06/22/2008, -2/+38Actually, I think he just didn't exist back then.
        • rentmitchum, on 06/22/2008, -23/+4I'm tempted to take screencap of this and submit it as "why I love digg".. lol.. This was a triumph.
    • unclemeat, on 06/22/2008, -12/+45I've made a real version of digg circa the past 3 years:

      http://i26.tinypic.com/30au9ax.jpg

      Thank you paint.
      • sovietninja, on 06/22/2008, -6/+31Buried for ads.
        • HomieG6189, on 06/22/2008, -8/+39There's ads on digg?
        • twrife, on 06/22/2008, -4/+17One of my biggest pet peeves is when people use the word there's when it doesn't make sense.
          "There is ads on digg?"
        • nvisible, on 06/22/2008, -4/+27How about "there ARE ads on Digg."?

          If you're going to be a nazi do it right.
        • Kyan, on 06/22/2008, -12/+6Languages change. Try saying "They're ads on digg" vs "there's ads on digg" and tell me which one rolls off the tongue easier. For some, the first might be as easy, but a lot of people will try to say they-u-urr, to enunciate it and that is not easy, so they said "therz". (And then ceiling cat strikes them with some U CAN HAZ LITNING, but that is irrelevant to the point I'm making.)

          Comments are much closer to verbal language than written language. In this case "there's" is just a written version of what G6189 would say, not what he would write. Even though he is writing it, go figure. This is part of why it's hard to teach computers to talk like humans.
        • ligyron, on 06/22/2008, -0/+20Let's just invent the word "there're"
        • Thogster, on 06/22/2008, -1/+6@Kyan - Where did you get "they're" from?
        • MrGlass952, on 06/22/2008, -1/+0ABP FTW!!!
        • unclemeat, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1I didn't even notice I had ads until you pointed it out. I forgot they even existed after having had Adblock for so long. I guess I'll go download that now.

      • rentmitchum, on 06/22/2008, -6/+1Buried for the fun of burying.
      • parkermauney, on 06/23/2008, -1/+1What's with the giant empty space in firefox?
        • Darkx1337, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1It isn't supposed to be like that.
      • frotastic, on 06/24/2008, -0/+1YOUR BATTERY IS LESS THAN 50% OMG
    • staffell, on 06/22/2008, -1/+7Yeah, noone said "evar" in 1995!
    • Suprfire, on 06/22/2008, -6/+1and gay.
    • Bersy, on 06/22/2008, -1/+3The "1337" diggs is a tad obvious.
    • philberttheduck, on 06/23/2008, -1/+2well digg used to be all about tech, not about politics.
    • AutoTom, on 06/23/2008, -0/+5how is this a good comment?
    • frosteyneko, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2Um.... duh???
    • bobbymoney, on 06/23/2008, -2/+1it's a sort-of-ironic internet word-meme callback
      very popular as comments on sites like digg

      FTW!
  • insertnamehere, on 06/22/2008, -34/+21dupe, hardcore dupe
  • Simonft, on 06/22/2008, -66/+1He also has one from 1994, http://flickr.com/photos/cdharrison/1110259278/in/ ...
    • wavesmachine, on 06/22/2008, -2/+1Don't you recognize MrBabyMan when you see him?
    • AnOMNOMymous, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3***** that kid.
  • keyme, on 06/22/2008, -62/+3LIES!
    Seriously, though, the earliest records of the digg.com domain date back to 1998. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://digg.com
    "Digg Records"?

  • dcd722, on 06/22/2008, -18/+394Can we get rid of the comment system?

    Or at least the commenters?

    *sigh*
    • DjArcadian, on 06/22/2008, -11/+117The comments are the best part!
    • Technohamster, on 06/22/2008, -14/+3Hey -_-
    • yaosio, on 06/22/2008, -0/+26I enjoy 10 year old quotes from horrible tv shows so I don't know why you would want to get rid of the comments.
    • tcpip4lyfe, on 06/22/2008, -1/+9I assume you are aware of the irony of telling us how you feel in a comment?
    • rentmitchum, on 06/22/2008, -0/+9Comments make me laugh more than the articles usually do.
    • mightycbu, on 06/23/2008, -0/+5the comment system actually makes me believe i have friends that talk to me :P
      • equinoxChild, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2dugg so you feel like you have friends patting you on the back.
    • caborobo, on 06/23/2008, -4/+1You're a comment system.
    • Machismo, on 06/23/2008, -3/+1IRONY!!!
  • futureisours, on 06/22/2008, -45/+3wow I never knew Digg has been around for so long!!
  • HenvY, on 06/22/2008, -2/+508If only Digg actually was this cutting-edge - seems they knew about the Lewinsky scandal 3 years before everyone else!
    • Twisty, on 06/22/2008, -6/+36It does say circa 1995 so it could have been 98' :O
    • kevmister, on 06/22/2008, -0/+91Although Microsoft announcing Windows 97 in 1998 would have been a bit weird...
      • addakorn, on 06/22/2008, -2/+4Maybe the were announcing the release of 97?
    • Newedge14, on 06/22/2008, -17/+3Digg is this cutting edge, we predicted obama didn't we?
      • TheTaoOfBill, on 06/22/2008, -1/+19No...

        We predicted Ron Paul...

        ...

  • qeek, on 06/22/2008, -37/+9Stories have way too many diggs... fake.
  • defaultdigger, on 06/22/2008, -6/+64Tabletastic !!!
    • beautifulbeast, on 06/22/2008, -0/+6I know. That hurt my eyes too. And the background!
  • grow4road, on 06/22/2008, -26/+2did all that stuff even happen in 95?
    also this is old as hell.
  • cubby, on 06/22/2008, -3/+311what's funny is that digg's original home page wasn't nearly this sophisticated...in 2004.

        Someone should write microsoft a letter and ask them, just how WRONG are you about predicting the future? And why should we believe anything you say to us?

        That one guy predicted what was gonna happen hundred of years ago in our world which has (mostly) came true. Microsoft can't even see 1 year ahead with any accuracy. That just about disrupts any statements they've made to us, ever.

        PS: I also remember bill gates saying processors (i think he said silicon based or something of that nature, transistor based) will never exceed 10ghz... In order to find that out, we may have to wait indefinately or until semi-conductor based computers become obsolete due to a newer evolving technology... Which I think is the only way he'd ever be right. Thats like saying, In 1,000,000 years aliens are going to come build us a Stargate portal in the middle of New Mexico called, Area SG-1.
      • klipseracer, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1"But what if Sony's BluRay format wins the next-gen movie war? Could we still see a BRD add-on for Xbox 360, or maybe even a combo drive? Henson pipes up, "I wanna make sure everyone understands this! The system itself is architected so that we can continue to add components over time. Could we do that kind of stuff technically? Yeah. But have we announced anything, no - high definition movie formats is going to be a really interesting thing to watch objectively - and we'll be ready to adapt to what consumers want." He also clarified, just for our own satisfaction, that "HD-DVD the accessory is for movie playback only" - no gamers will be alienated by Microsoft putting games on HD-DVD. "

        So they say they could do BRD on 360, and that they would "be ready to adapt to what consumers want."

        No your not you duschebags. You made it a huge selling point to buy a PS3 you idiots. This is why I bought my consoles.

        Here are my selling points.
        I got an NES because it was free.
        I got a Gameboy because of my friend who had Kirby.
        I got a N64 because my gameboy came with Links Awakening (black and white obviously) and N64 had OOT and Goldeneye.
        I got a Dreamcast because of my true attatchment to the Genesis and total loyalty to sega....That and the games were free. Ahem.
        I got a PSX because I thought the CD games were cool, plus it dropped to 135$!
        I got an Xbox because of halo 1. That, plus MS can always hype things up well.
        I got a 360 because I loved Xbox Live
        And I got a Wii because they were cheap.....and because of twilight princess, D'uh.
        And I got a PS3 because its the only one I didn't have, and it played Blu-Rays! I told my gf ahead of time before I bought it that I was gonna get a Blu-ray player for our downstairs plasma. She said OK! haha...Plus Metal Gear solid!!! and I got the 60gig with full backwards compatibility.

      • fletcherrr, on 06/22/2008, -0/+2Anyone seen the new Sandra Bollocks movie? Bullocks.
    • mykid8yours, on 06/22/2008, -3/+1What? No Digg in 2005?
    • 142TeeTH, on 06/22/2008, -0/+8Actually,
      Digg '04: http://i31.tinypic.com/258c852.png
      Digg '06: http://i32.tinypic.com/2hp14br.png
      Digg '07: ...Same thing, really.
      • mentor972, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1Ahh, the days when it was only tech.
    • tango1110, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3Your comment was so popular, even it caused the digg effect.
  • carpespasm, on 06/22/2008, -17/+6Did the comment system still suck? They seem to have only in the last few months ironed out the bugs.
  • hazard99, on 06/22/2008, -8/+2Woot! They added an Animated GIFs section!
  • computerusr, on 06/22/2008, -13/+533Reddit, circa 2008
    • joemofo214, on 06/22/2008, -5/+115oh snap!
    • D14BL0, on 06/22/2008, -4/+42Ouch! Low blow!
    • tippmann1, on 06/22/2008, -2/+62oh no he di' en'!
    • midriscoll09, on 06/22/2008, -3/+9I once searched digg in the stumble add-on for firefox and it directed me to reddit :/
    • MavRevMatt, on 06/22/2008, -24/+8But at least at Reddit the news is timely and the users are somewhat intelligent...
      Damn how Digg has gone downhill.
      • thespiff, on 06/22/2008, -11/+6Yep I'm man enough to get Dugg down for agreeing with you 100%.
      • rentmitchum, on 06/22/2008, -3/+9You're downhill.
      • MavRevMatt, on 06/23/2008, -1/+1It's obvious where Digg is going. Thanks!
    • JoshTheBoss, on 06/22/2008, -2/+2The first think I searched for in comments was "reddit" because I thought the exact same thing. I dugg you up.
    • AutoTom, on 06/23/2008, -3/+2oh no she didn't!!
    • Yndis, on 06/23/2008, -1/+4ZING!
    • klipseracer, on 06/23/2008, -1/+1You have to admit, thats EXACTLY how reddit is in a nutshell! Good thing they are going open source... I'm down to give www.openredit.com a try! Its funny how 100% of reddit's readers are just checking their RSS with Internet Explorer! HAHA.
  • FUR10N, on 06/22/2008, -7/+69so i guess people don't care about duplicates anymore?
    • dood, on 06/22/2008, -1/+12Most people, if they notice duplicates, don't bother saying anything about it. I think they realize that this site is run by humans, who will make mistakes and will occasionally post a duplicate article. They probably have better things to do with their time, like post replies to people complaining about dupes. Er, damn.
      • YoshoKatana, on 06/22/2008, -1/+7Everyone should see this image once. That is all. We can move on now, until the next wave of newbies approaches.
    • MScrip, on 06/22/2008, -2/+3Nope. They don't. Just you. I've seen this image before. But I am here reading the comments because it's entertaining. And to look for people like you who scream dupe.

      Maybe someone could make a Firefox plugin that looks at every article you've ever seen on Digg, and filters out things you've already seen.

      Or, when you see something like Digg c. 1995... something you KNOW you've seen before... you can IGNORE IT.
  • Apocrypha, on 06/22/2008, -2/+4Nice to see the headlines are at least a little more sophisticated now.
  • John6000, on 06/22/2008, -8/+3http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://digg.com
  • Braintricks, on 06/22/2008, -17/+123No MrBabyMan, buried as inaccurate.
    • nemof, on 06/22/2008, -11/+2That's because it was MrFoetalMan back then.
      • Suprfire, on 06/22/2008, -2/+2Grammar Nazis!
        ATTACK!!!!
        • darlingt, on 06/22/2008, -0/+4That's correct in British English. Grammar Nazi does not wield the schwastika for cultural differences in spelling.
    • byrdgang, on 06/22/2008, -2/+27He was known as MrFetusMan back then.
      • winampman2, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3from earlier up in the comments
        ==================================================================
        oilcan: that's cuz MrBabyMan was MrEmbryoMan at the time and couldn't type yet.

        jaynemother: I think he was actually MrSemenMan back then

        coredump0x0: He was most likely MrUnabsorbedAminoAcidsMan then.

        jamdogg: I've found out he was MrCarbon,Nitrogen,Hydrogen,SulfurAndOxygenAtomsWithTheQuantumPotentialToFormAminoAcidsMan back then.

        staffell: Actually, I think he just didn't exist back then.
    • whitenerdy92, on 06/23/2008, -0/+6Guys this joke was done earlier up in the comments...
      • Braintricks, on 06/23/2008, -0/+0sorry, didn't check every reply. especially one just 20 minutes before mine.
    • rentmitchum, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1This thread was already done a little ways up the page, and better than you guys are doing it. Look for it, it was awesome. Amino acids are involved!
  • Fjosnisse, on 06/22/2008, -11/+5old. so very very old.
  • realgoat21, on 06/22/2008, -7/+30there should probably be a whole section devoted to the dancing baby. anyone who remembers the 90s will agree
    • perot9296, on 06/22/2008, -1/+2I dont remember the dancing baby at all from the 90s. Then again I didn't get internet until late 98.
      • Peynis, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1They even made dancing baby toys back then.

        Man, the 90's sucked.
        • perot9296, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1No way, they were great, the music was awesome until around 97/98 when Grunge/Alternative Rock was died out.
  • psycoshot, on 06/22/2008, -13/+5Best Headlines Ever
  • rypic7, on 06/22/2008, -25/+3photoshopped! digg wasn't launched until 2004.
  • tennis43267, on 06/22/2008, -11/+154this has been posted before
    http://digg.com/tech_news/Digg_in_the_90s_pic
    • SteveCUBE, on 06/22/2008, -1/+11lol and I dugg that one. I must be getting forgetful in my old age of 20.
    • ABadPerson, on 06/23/2008, -0/+435% of Diggers can't remember something from a year ago.
    • AnOMNOMymous, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2***** MR BABYMAN!
    • Gforce20, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2*undiggs article, buries*
  • Jeremyz0r, on 06/22/2008, -3/+26$370 P 200mhz MMX... O_O
    • smashhell, on 06/22/2008, -5/+10I still have a computer magazine from 1995, they sell 3.2GB Harddrive for $199, 32mb RAM for $100, and Intel P II 300mhz for $975, LOL !
      • Paranoid600, on 06/22/2008, -0/+12No you don't, the Pentium II wasn't released til 1997.
      • blinktude, on 06/22/2008, -0/+3WAZAMM
        caught in a lie
    • kahrn, on 06/22/2008, -0/+10We paid £3000 ($6000?) for a cutting edge Pentium 150MHz machine with 16MB RAM and a 1GB HDD back in the day. Granted half of the cost was for warranty -- but thats still £1500 ($3000?) for the machine.
      • studdenfadden, on 06/22/2008, -0/+9A warranty that costs as much as the thing it is protecting is one hell of a deal!
      • PawFox, on 06/22/2008, -0/+4My parents back in 1995, bought us (brothers/sisters)

        Pentium 133MHZ, 16MB Ram and 1.2GB HDD - and I was soo jeasous of my friend when I found out he had a PC running @ 300 MHZ - It costed £3000 back then as well.
    • falafelkiosken, on 06/22/2008, -2/+30but will it run Crysis?
      • scy1192, on 06/22/2008, -0/+10something tells me it won't...
      • p0ss, on 06/23/2008, -0/+8I'd be surprised if it even ran a youtube video of it.
    • EgaoNoGenki, on 06/23/2008, -0/+1What the living, breathing, flying pluck! MMX didn't come out 'til January 1997! Believe me- I was 12 then and I read the Spring edition of Computer Shopper that year!
  • Skab, on 06/22/2008, -2/+25Axe is best weapon ever!
  • alphaswift, on 06/22/2008, -14/+20Lies. There weren't enough people on the interwebs back then to get those Digg counts.
  • RivalJr, on 06/22/2008, -9/+4OH NO WAIT! Ive seen this before.
  • timisondigglol, on 06/22/2008, -3/+59I wonder if people in the 90s complained about old Diggs.
    • sathia, on 06/23/2008, -0/+3it was more like,

      no way, we will never see that
      • marx2k, on 06/23/2008, -0/+0It probably was just a Top 10 List of Worst BBS's EVAR
  • killedinfog, on 06/22/2008, -9/+2windows 97 lmao
  • duckyinc, on 06/22/2008, -6/+11Dupe
  • Skab, on 06/22/2008, -13/+103Dugg for only time mrbabyman not on the frontpage.
    • mhender, on 06/22/2008, -4/+36You really need a hobby.
    • BNash577, on 06/22/2008, -2/+11It would've been better with him in it. Sort of like the omnipotent digger, he's there regardless of space or time.
    • bfrank72, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1He probably would've been just MrMan...because...you know...his kid probably isn't 13 years old.
  • LZeppelinJ0, on 06/22/2008, -5/+17The 3D Dancing Baby part made me laugh
  • lesfleanut, on 06/22/2008, -10/+1"Microsoft announces Windows 97"

    Brilliant.
  • philrenaud, on 06/22/2008, -9/+85Older than John McCain.
    • josereyes0, on 06/22/2008, -1/+16Impossible
    • cmsjustin, on 06/22/2008, -2/+11Isn't the joke "younger"?
    • ceredron, on 06/22/2008, -0/+4Impossible. For in the Beginning:

      There was John Mccain.
    • winampman2, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2Back in the day, McCain went to school with Moses.
    • darkciti2, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2John McCain invented Al Gore.
  • paintballing66, on 06/22/2008, -8/+26Even if this is fake, dugg for a headline titled "Bob Dole Likes Peanut Butter"
  • stolemybike, on 06/22/2008, -15/+30Old. Like, really ***** old. Buried.
  • Trixrox, on 06/22/2008, -0/+117Sadly real video isn't dead completely yet :(
