Although all records will be lost in the Great Digital Collapse of 2166 those of us who were there will remember that this is where it all began to go wrong.
If you need me I’ll be sitting by myself.
Splitter!
It all started with a row over dinner in an Italian restaurant.
And if centuries from now Pastafarianism is a legitimate (or even dominant) religion, and starts persecuting heretics, well. . . that would be a good punch line wouldn’t it?
