I still say we drive burning floppy disk(s) into Fistful's chest, with extreme prejudice.  Just to be sure.  ;)

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Hey now floppy disks where useful for a while in the 80's and 90's.  If you are going to do it, then use Zip Disks.

Can we ever be sure we're anywhere?

And remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

That warning was for over a month ago.  I sent a pm that they might want to take it down, lest the place look uninhabited and invite burglars.  But, it's still up.   =|

I think it's pretty funny we all jumped to the same Egyptian connection conclusion. First thing I thought, "I wonder if the server is in Egypt and is now a smoking pile of rubble?"  :laugh:

Nah, I figured the feds took it down and were out rounding up all us free thinkers  :O
