Title: Overclocker Creates Rift in Space-Time Continuum
Post by: Harlax on May 22, 2005, 07:10:36 pm

Santa Cruz, CA - A rift in the space-time continuum was created today when overclocker Jamie Aperman ran a 750 MHz Coppermine Pentium III at 1.6 GHz.  Overclocking has long been blamed for causing global warming, but this is the first occasion that the fabric of space-time has been damaged.

MIT Professor George Greznowski said, "It appears that the CPU was operating so fast that it began to execute instructions before they arrived.  This execution of future instructions created a small tear in the fabric of space-time itself through which part of the motherboard passed into a parallel universe."

No one was injured in the accident, but a computer motherboard was partially damaged.    Mr. Aperman better known as SpeedPhreeek said, "I'm pissed.  I lost a brand new Alpha Cooler and Coppermine to a parallel universe.  I called my insurance company and they don't cover losses to rifts in the space-time continuum."
