Come up with a witty urban legend and we'll give you something. We'll decide who is witty, and who is lame.
For example:
"I heard that Jeff Bakalar's name is really the password for an alien race to signal the destruction of earth. If enough people say it, aliens will get confused and mistakenly destroy hoboken."
The horror!

If you eat Pop Rocks and listen to The 404 at the same time, you will die.

I hear that if you play the 404 backwards, you here a satanic message.
(Something about four-oh-four)
...and spelling

grammar?

Wilson Tang

When I was in an internet stalker mood I googled Wilson Tang one night and was shocked to discover that the "character" volleyball in the movie Cast Away was inspired by a real life, weekend-gone-wrong experience between Tom Hanks and Mr. Wilson Tang. This is absolutely true. I checked snopes.com to confirm that this is not an urban legend, like the faux story circling the web that purports that Wilson Tang is the secret millionaire heir to the Tang flavored drink empire.
"Wiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllsooooooooooooooon!"

Jeff, Randall, and Wilson are kleptos who hide their problem by giving away 'prizes'.
they secretly put saltpeter in the coffee that the 404 members drink.

Why are these three guys spending their days doing a podcast? Don't you know that all three of them are really multi-millionaires who should be spending their days flying private jets from one luxury beach resort to the next? Randall Bennett is the son of crooner Tony Bennett, Jeff Bakalar is CFO of Digital Ally, Inc. (see http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-4936111/Digital-Ally-Inc-Appoints-Jeff.html )
and Yes, it is now confirmed to be absolutely true, Wilson Tang will come into his fortune when Tang gets back onto the NASA in-flight menus because he is indeed the heir to the famous flavored drink empire.
T'ang Dynasty

Wilson Tang is more powerful than any of you may want to believe. you might think he is a hard working citizen of the US, but couldn't be any further from the truth. Wilson's great great great great... great grandfather ruled for part of the T'ang Dynasty(618-907 A.D). During his reign he created taxes and laws that made him rich! Now the only two Heirs to the family fortune are Wilson Tang and his father. The reason he is here is to make sure his father does not know of the great wealth and he might be planning an attack on his father.
Here is a picture of an artifact made during the T'ang Dynasty. You will see a great resemblance to a Cnet employee.

I heard somewhere that Randall, Jeff, and Wilson were hired by the creators of WITWICS to start an underground movement to bring the game back into the public consciousness. They tried creating fake twitter accounts to start the buzz but couldn't get any @ replies so now we have the 404.
