This is what Google is for.

So the other night, right before bed we were sleepily trying to remember where the line "stab you through your computer monitor" or some such came from.  We couldn't quite remember...I thought it was from a Penny Arcade comic or something, but I wasn't sure.

So today, five minutes with Google answered this Very Important Question.  It actually originally came from some unnamed IRC chat years ago, and the IMPORTANT thing is the context:.

<Zybl0re> get up
<Zybl0re> get on up
<Zybl0re> get up
<Zybl0re> get on up
<phxl|paper> and DANCE
* nmp3bot dances :D-<
* nmp3bot dances :D|-<
* nmp3bot dances :D/-<
<[SA]HatfulOfHollow> i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet

So as you see, this was no mere random bit of misanthropy- this statement was provoked.  He's really talking about justified stabbing in the face. 

And now you know, most of the story.  Thank you Google.
