pwned

someone please explain what exactly "pwned" means (as opposed to just "owned"), and also why some people are obsessed with saying it.

supposedly, a respected Quake player kept making a typo and it caught on. or in the last level of warcraft I it said pwned instead of owned. both are rumors. who really knows....

wow, um...it's been around way longer than WC I.
ROGL was started by someone who insisted that the well known expression was "Rolling On Ground Laughing"

I personally believe in the either unintentional typo that caught on in some game, or the Phreaking phrenzy where a lot of letters were mysteriously changed to P's. Did you just own that dude's 'puter, or did you pwn it!?!??1111 DIAL-UP HAX111!!!1!!!///ichi

Hehe, I saw a license plate that said PWN-1457 (don't remember what the number was), but I'm pretty sure it was just random chance, as all the license plates around here are 3 alphas, 4 digits.  It would be funny to get one that said PWN-1337, though, just to see if anybody noticed it.
