L33T = Elite; pwns = owns
Quote:
L33T = (a novel form of English spelling) From Elite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet pwns = It means "Owns", but a lot of people cant seem to spell it right. It's used in terms of something that is "Good" and "Owns You". It is one of the many "1337" words that should be banished to the void of word-hell. Rambling Idiot: "d00d h4l0 pwns j00" Sensible Person: "Silence!" *hits in face with hammer or similar blunt weapon* http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwns&r=f

Kayak flatwater racing is fun
 . Sweden's Markus Oscarsson and Henrik Nilsson took the gold in the men's K2 1000m today. They were silver medallists in Sydney where they were beaten by Italy but this time they got their revenge. Italy came 2nd and Norway finished 3rd.Norway also managed to win the gold in the men's K1 1000m earlier this morning. Congratulations!

Is that so? Hmm, in that case you must find tennis (the women's singles) to be incredibly fun

Eirik Veraas Larsen is amazing! He wins his K1 race, and then not 2 hours later he takes a bronze medal in his K2 race! Norway won another gold medal today too, Gunn Rita Dahle in Cycling, women's cross country race. Wooohooo!

Wow, did anyone see NZ (Foughy) in the canoeing? He went from second-to-last at the half way point, to second place, to earn a silver medal.
 He just powered past everyone.

Wow, Norway got two gold medals today, in the women's cross country and the men's javelin throw. Congrats, you now have one gold more than Sweden
Argentina beat Paraguay in the men's football. I missed that match Sweden only got 7 medals in these games. Our goal had been 20, but they lowered it to 12 after some of our best medal hopes had dropped. 12 medals is what we got in Sydney. We lost a lot of bronze medals, I think Sweden won fourth place 8 or 9 times. Annoying. However, 4 of our medals were golden ones. That isn't too bad after all. I guess that will have to do Congratulations Canucks!

Britain just won the mens 4x100m relay. Do you know who won the mens javelin?
