The website only has 55,591 people signed up at the moment. That’s not even a dent into the massive online community. And 9,010 people said they can’t do it. I bet all of those people play World of Warcraft. We all know they can’t stop for 24 hours.

I guess it’s a cool idea, but it should be pushed back so more people can find out about it. I signed up just for the hell of it. I’ll be sleeping for half of the day anyway, then I’ll watch college basketball, and then I’ll actually get some homework done too. I wonder if video game consoles count as computers. I’m just going to assume they don’t. And neither does my iPod. But my laptop will be off for the whole day at least.
