        \_ Old news, posted on the motd earlier this morning.
           \_ Son of a diddly!
              \_ what percentage of viewers do you estimate "got" the
                 run lola run theme of that episode?
                 \_ I thought it was from Go.
                 \_ whoever had closed captioning on.  we also got to see
                    Bart saying, "gun key, gun key, gun key, trigger key..."
                    as he was flipping through his keyring.
                 \_ anyone who had closed captioning on.  those of us also got
                    to see such lines as Bart saying, "... gun lock, gun lock,
                    gun lock, trigger lock..." as he was flipping through his
                    keyring.
        \_ Duh, a password of at least 18770 characters is the only way to
           be safe.  I have this set on my network and force users to change
           their passwords on a daily basis.
