I can't believe they made the code that way when it looks so stupid.


Why do you think it looks stupid--because you're used to seeing it the

will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the
population into concentration camps and turn the country into a
wasteland.' But Lyndon Johnson said: 'No! No! No! Don't you dare do
that. Let ME do it.'"
