Maximum PC PSA: Don't Eat Your World of Warcraft Authenticator
You wouldn't think we'd need to post a PSA warning people against eating their World of Warcraft Authenticator, but it just so happens that's exactly what one gamer did.
"I was sitting in my chair and biting into my authenticator while thinking about several RP related story arcs that I have planned," a WoW player wrote on the game's official forums. "I swivel around in my chair and presume to fall off it and shoot the authenticator into my mouth and down my throat.
"I have drank some of that stuff that makes you vomit, but I'm apparently resistant to a whole bottle of it. I am curious on what I should do."
Whether or not he was whoring for attention, we don't know, but he did get some solid advice. "Get off the Internet and call medical services," one poster replied. "I would recommend chewing gum over authenticators. If you're feeling like something more like food, apples work well also," another poster commented.

The good timberland 6 inch boots news is that you can stop the cycle before it gets bad. When you start to notice signs of timberland 6 inch premium boot tension, talk to your partner.

Within the conversation call them on what they’ve been doing timberland roll top boots and let them know it’s not okay. Be clear that you will end things if this timberland chukka boots behavior continues. Watch how your partner reacts. If they blow it off, it’s time to get out; chances are if you stay in the timberland chukka boots for men relationship the abuse will continue and possibly worsen.

LOL! No worries, mate. 2-3 days should see the problem "pass". Just listen for the telltale "CLINK" in the bowl. I wonder if it still would work?

I'd like to know how he's planning on removing the authenticator from his account when the number is listed on the back of it! I don't think the Blizzard tech support would buy "I ate my authenticator" as a reason to remove it. I'm sure if he said it was lost they could maybe do something about it.

It's a pain in the a$$ (no pun intended.) It took me 3 emails and 48 hours to have my authenticator removed when I reformatted my phone without disabling it. They ask several questions to verify that you aren't attempting to compromise the account. They even wanted the CD key from one of my expansion disks. Its a good thing I keep all that info.

He somehow managed to do it just before the roll-out of Cataclysm, too. Double-duh!

Anyone remember that story a while back when a kid ate a coin cell battery? Those World of Warcraft Authenticator's wouldn't happen to also have a coin cell in it... right?
