What is Pwned?

[DavidC]

Some background:

I was hanging out with my buddy and a little bit out-of-sorts on Friday... At his place, I dropped a cookie and then picked it up off the floor to eat it. It had fallen in dog hair, some of it got into my mouth, and I went to the kitchen to get it out.

I didn't want to drink water or anything like that, where i might swallow the fur, so I grabbed some paper towels and was basically scrubbing out my mouth with them.

He came in, was a little out-of-sorts himself, and determined that I was eating the paper towels! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyhow, he was pretty confused and asked me about it, told me what he thought, and I replied, "Pwned."

He debated that there was no pwnage, as there was no intent to pwn. In essence, he said that in order for pwnage to occur, there must be a pwner and a pwnee.

So, on to what will be perhaps the greatest question of the 21st century:

Must there be a pwner? Can you be pwned by a situation, or must there be intent to pwn? Can you pwn yourself?

Discuss.
