  • debuggercll, on 07/12/2008, -5/+35It takes a brave man to swim in red waters, but it takes a hero to drink from them.
  • overridemymind, on 07/12/2008, -0/+25Gentlemen, please excuse me while I go vomit.

  • NorinRadd, on 07/12/2008, -1/+11The old Video Playback Trick.You know, the one that bank robbers in the movies use:
    Jupiteranians set up a holographic video of a fake atmosphere around their planet, which loops continuously as a way to block viewers from seeing what really goes on on their planet. Soon the red spot will come back, and then it will go away again, and we will not even notice what is really going on.
