"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

The Prophet will read you the future now. Just to calm you simple people...

Nothing will change... The speed at wich we all are going downhill cannot be altered by a mere second. The Goober shall continiue to fix other peoples grammatic eroors. The Raa will continiue to vuw fishes. The Mr' Fury will continiue to spend incredible amounts of space here by posting one line messages which his enermous picture and credentials will expand so the space they cover quadruples. The Kosh continiues to be the voice of reason. And the nuclear1 is still to be locked with the WMCoolmon in to his secret underwater base, for all eternity.
There is more countless secrets I could tell you, but now I feel hungry.

Either that, or you could build a nice sloped ramp on the eastern side of your house that connects smoothly with your roof - assuming you have a sloped roof, that is. And remember to keep the connection between ramp and roof ASAP (as smooth as possible), since protrusions of more than 2mm may have adverse effects on the planetary rotational velocity.
