I left my keyboard for a few minutes for
a bio break and when I got back, here's
what I found typed on my foreground window:
WE OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL LIBERATION FRONT
WILL PUBLISH OUR MANFESTO AND THE LIST
OF OUR DEMANDS SHORTLY. CEASE _ALL_ ATP
METABOLISM NOW OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.
I don't know which is scarier--the message,
or the fact that it's a "MANfesto".
The horror. The horror.
