To be honest with you, I am not sure where “IT”S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!111″ came from, probably from the murky depths of /b/ on 4chan. But it can effect any place of the internet with a mere mention of something that is over 9000 whatever’s. A classic example is this article by the Telegraph on a tree that is over 9000 year’s old. The title is “World’s oldest living tree over 9,000 years old”. Perfect to attract anyone who want’s to get in on a piece of the action. As if Digg comments weren’t bad enough, at least it had some relevance to the story.

Bearing in mind this article was posted back in April, there have been numerous posts already in August. There were some well made out comments at the bottom though, before the memes took hold.

Never before has such an intelligence drop in one place been witnessed. I ROFL’d.
