Fiona celebrated the new animal rights laws. Then she heard that she was the new home of the endangered smallpox strain.

Apologies to Richard Dawkins:
We are all atheists about most of the gods that people have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further... To Hell.

Thanks, hopefully it's clear that that one was 90% Dawkins, not me. ("Great artist (wannabes) steal" -- some dead guy :wink:

“I pretty enough for you now?” She asks. “Almost, keep going.” He replies. Soon there will be nothing left of her.

Jack Hough
I found him charming. I melted and cooed in the grasp of his skeletal hands as he sucked the delicate marrow from my bones.

He stacked the heads one on top the other, each startled face painted orange. "Don't make 'em like they used to," he said.

So, who was the joker that programmed the Twabble-generating AI, and why did they name it Algernon Sydney Is Dead?

I'm also interested in where the name came from. Sydney's Wikipedia entry is tantalizing. Have you conspired against a monarch recently?

I too took it as an opportunity to enrich my historical education. Apparently he was the father of the constitutional form? Bummer about getting his head lopped off. Just think what he could do if he wasn't just a head. I can see why Twabbling is his favorite form. Typing with just your nose is time-consuming.

"Rome fell due to taxes!"

Skynet was attempting to consolidate code, when it accidentally triggered the launch... Clearcase confounds again!

Note for non-geeks: Clearcase is an immensely expensive and complicated tool used by programmers on big, bureaucratic projects.
It will be the death of us all!

Icarus had been warned. These heights were dangerous - infested with the ALLCAPS virus. His cmd-delete could not fail.

She realized how evil was the monkey's paw. It crooked its finger and said, "Can I interest you in whole life insurance?"
