776 B.C. — The first Olympics are held in Ancient Greece. The losers get pwned.

146 B.C. — The Romans PWN Carthage by leveling it to the ground, then tilling its fields with salt so that nothing may grow there again. Carthago delenda est. MAJOR PWNAGE.

2013 — What future pwnage will 2013 hold?!!!! The future rushes towards us… an empty black road; vague and uncentered, ready for any text which we might care to inscribe upon its willing macadam. Will there be pwn? Will there be an end to pwn? Only the future knows, but the future is unwilling to disclose its secrets, which is — in a way — very pwn indeed.
