Breaking News! Mr. Thompson is an Over-Sensitive Zealot! ... Wait...

That's not news at all! I'm sorry, everyone. False alarm.
Read this first - I don't even want to paraphrase it...

If someone produced 'I hate Patrick Waddingham' tee-shirts and constantly slammed me on their personal web site, I could tell the cops, too. They would look at me, nod, say 'We'll look into it' and then take a big bite out of a doughnut, not because they are lazy or fat, but because there is nothing that would be worth doing over it.

If you visit Penny Arcade, they have news on their front page (the real address is www.penny-arcade.com, by the way), one past article talks about a conversation between Thompson and the artist of Penny Arcade. I'm sure more news will surface as the day goes on. As of right now, it is 8:11am there, so everyone is just getting into the swing of things (or still sleeping - I know I wish I could have been).
