Noobitus is a disease contracted when there are extreme cases of noobiness. Signs are:

Getting pwned too much in computer games

Managing to shoot themselves in the  foot in games such as Counter-Strike, where no such thing is possible at all

Extreme hours of sleep

Managing to strangle themselves with a wireless keyboard or mouse

Hacks.

Sadly, the author of this article has noobitus, but that’s a different story.

This disease dates back to 1337 BC in the highlands of Nubia. The Nubians hailed their leader Anubis who brought them the gift of noobiness firstly to parts of Nubia, then to the whole world. Nubians contracted Noobitus when they spent too much time getting pwned in wars against Roman computer programmers. At the dawn of the year 1338 BC, the Roman computer programmers stormed Nubia, drove out all the Nubians and killed their leader Anubis. This forced many Nubians, even those with Noobitus, to leave Nubia and head for the New World and Europe. By the year 1337 AD, Noobitus had spread throughout the world and it still exists, haunting millions of Runescape gamers around the world.

Most Asian gamers seem to be resistant to the disease, but we all know that so nevermind.
