Anybody wanna know where the word "pwn" came from?

Ive known this for a long time. People have been saying "PWNED" and not even knowing what it means. Pwn isnt a word. It was found by accident. People's fingers slipped when they were typing "owned" and said "pwned" and people just assumed it both meant the same thing. So now you know.

~And they all went away in the yellow submarine.~

Exactly.

A World of Warcraft moderator accidently typed 'pwn' instead of 'own' in a code, so whenever a player got killed or whatever, it said 'Player has been pwned'. From there it stuck and spread all over teh internets.
