In other words, there may be wild monkeys with chicken heads flying around the room with wet paintbrushes and flaming leotards — but nothing weird. The DNS might take a while to propagate, but if you’re reading this, then it’s already propagated for you. You win!

What started out as a festive holiday for most ended in the beginning stages of the apocalypse. CERN has certainly been under the public eye with their LHC experiments, and so in order to test some of the more controversial procedures — the “scientists” need to mask their nefarious plans in a bit of pie. … Read more
