Exclamation sites Woot! and Yahoo! team up!
Oh the humanity! It's a bird, it's a plane! In the course of human history, there have been many sentences that demanded an exclamation point.

And Yahoo! gets a little geek cred, and a daily sale item for its front page.

Your score depends on how much sushi you eat, and which bucket the cat lands in when it finally reaches the bottom of the screen. The more ...
