Norwegian dude proposes via iPod engraving

We were planning on doing something way more romantic, like ripping off CmdrTaco and proposing to our special lady on Engadget, but after reading this story about some dude in Norway who asked his girlfriend to marry him by way of an engraving on the back of a 20GB iPod (she said yes), now we're thinking that we'll just write something on the back our Treo with a sharpie or maybe send a text message or whatever. We're pretty sure that women love it when you go all out like that. Best part is that some day this guy's kids are going to ask him about how he proposed to their mother, and they're going to be totally incredulous at the thought of an iPod that can only hold 20GB.

Aaahahahahaha. Brilliant!

Nuts, I was planning on doing that. Of course my girlfriend steals my iPod whenever she can so it'll work out nicely. It's not that crazy of an idea. Sure it's not balloon ride romantic, but then how useful is a balloon ride?

has anyone noticed this "NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm" im curious as to whats going on

If you're going to do that, at lease get a 60gb color ipod.

Awesome. Pure awesome. And what webworm?I use movable type too and some user named "Poker" keeps making comments on every entry and putting dumb quotes in there.

Clever, the way he didn't include any names as part of the engraving. That way, in case she said "no," he could reuse the idea on his next potential bride-to-be.

i've heard of couples that upgraded their diamond rings once they had more money, like in five years. So i guess this dude can upgrade the ipod every couple years too. :)

7# - That comment should be deleted, not just because it's spam but because the writer is really stupid. He says he's Mr Mc Mick Sally, when it was actually posted by Justin. As well as barely being able to spell, if a CEO can't spell they shouold be fired. That's a blatent demonstration of the Nigerian Scam. Please delete it.
