12 April 2001 - are belong to us

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

When a new catchphrase like “All your base are belong to us” enters the popular consciousness, standard reprocessing begins immediately. At this moment, hundreds of chemists are saying “All your acid are belong to us”, and dozens of mathematicians are saying “All your basis vector are belong to us.” (If you hadn’t heard these, blame the physical limits of communications technology.)

I’ve begun a search for a different kind of catchphrase—one which, when the world falls for it, will cause everyone to think something different. Imagine the vast outpouring of creativity! Take off every Zig! For great justice!
