  • dball48, on 12/13/2008, -0/+8Too bad there's no way to undo that...
  • inactive, on 12/13/2008, -0/+7a D for photoshop but an A- for ms paint?

  • tombbox, on 12/13/2008, -0/+6Commodore Sodomized Quasimodo with a Gizzard?
  • Rikkochet, on 12/13/2008, -0/+6Quasimodo! Sodomize Commodore Gizzard!
  • dissolutionman, on 12/13/2008, -0/+5You can't paint flames on a lolcat.

    But whenever I read Engadget... I jizz in my pants.
  • Neiby, on 12/13/2008, -2/+6Now we know how Amy rolls. Amy ftw!
  • sagien, on 12/13/2008, -2/+6And sometimes, a website just thinks that it's more special than it actually is...
  • smoothmann, on 12/13/2008, -1/+5I got 2 more

    Lame Site
  • smoothmann, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4Negrodamus can
  • arizonabay, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3This is an amazing article. It was beyond my wildest idealizations that Firefox's spell check would suggest actual words for a non-existent word, yet here is photographic evidence to the contrary.

    Thank you, Gizmodo
  • aweiksnar, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3can someone explain how exactly 'batman', 'macs', 'worshiping' and 'gizmodo' were all used in one sentence
  • SmokinOkie, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3I can't believe this stupid story got dug up so far. It just goes to show you how many 12 year old's there are on digg.
  • strevoir, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3I always wonder How much can I get for digging Gawker blog spam?
  • roxgod666, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2I see Firefox is reading the "Google's handbook of making witty internet jokes".
  • VenDrake, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2Sounds like a photoshop contest if I ever heard of one. (brb)
  • oboshoe, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2Quasimodo predicted all of this
  • gogog0, on 12/13/2008, -2/+4get off your high horse gizmodo, im pretty sure the firefox spellcheck programmers didn't deliberately create humorous suggestions for "gizmodo". talk about ego...
  • ocharry, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2And this has to do with sodomize because.....
  • PCGUY112887, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3LOL SODOMIZE!!!

    That is basically the authors point he is trying to get across. It's only interesting on Digg when it involves cops however...
  • arizonabay, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2Dugg for nice, yet obscure Sopranos reference.

    I'm running windows xp pro sp3 and firefox 3.04 (spell checker on default, so i assume its the american dictionary, i dont remember if i downloaded the american or british version of Firefox.)
  • kkiran, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3So what?!
  • inactive, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3Gizzard Sodomized the Commodore Quasimodo?
  • mykool, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1or in a top 10 list
  • keithjinternet, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2haha win
  • inactive, on 12/16/2008, -0/+1 Well,you can blame it on the now dead Linspire Linux...They gave the spell checker to FF before Novell bought them and chunked everything but CNR and Freespire..
  • benroy, on 12/13/2008, -2/+3I think you mean Nostradamus. And that ***** can't predict *****.
  • zoydberg, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1"You watched it! You can't unwatch it! Stay tuned for more: Tales of Interest!"
  • fjsferreira, on 12/14/2008, -0/+1"Sodomize" is fun... in this context, of course
  • perrym, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2this is ***** pathetic.

    i know that on normal days, gizmodo is just total blogspam and i go on my way just burying it as spam and not making a fuss over it but this is just lame.

    a total fluff piece about themselves submitted by insaincain02 (as usual - it seems he promotes all of gawker blogspam) that yet again gets to the front page.

    what a joke.

    this ***** is exactly why digg will never be a credible source for information when all blogspam and crap (huffpo etc) floods the front page constantly, where will all of the decent, original content fit in?
  • inactive, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2How long until someone requests Rule 34 on the above posts?
  • BedPost, on 12/13/2008, -2/+3You guys do remember this was the site that went around turning off people's TVs during presentations at CES, right? Douchebags.

  • kingm1k3, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1Dugg for Sodomize.
  • CoreyTamas, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1...unlike any of the other Gizmodo-related submissions.
  • bsummersett, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1Wouldn't Canadian English use the 'ise' ending? In that case, it wouldn't match up with Gizmodo as closely as an American spellcheck.
  • CoreyTamas, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1More like "No end of the world Apple stories".
