The webbernet tubes are cloggifying and ensuingly slowing down ... I predict that the demise of the Information Age will coincide with the total degeneration of the English Tongue™ into a single syllable uh (or er in the UK sales region). And, did I mention? it's darned nigh.

Some spiritually meditative person may substitute aum for uh. Warning: Bits passing through a pipe concurrently with aum may be slowed, morphed, damaged, or destroyed by vibrations.

Can you read it? I can't, even with stopping the movie.

I think Branshea is referring to the random placement, rather than the words. 'Random', theres one the kids are using a lot down these parts.

That's right Olly . Random, he's just fiddling around with those tiles. A great empty look though (let's hope it's just an act).
