This is not a complaint. It actually makes me oddly happy to see it...

but when I just got a message from "the machine spirit" entitled A New Friend..., I got this really ominous, doom-laden feeling. It was really creepy.
Good Call.

I don't think this belongs here....but yes, it is a nice touch...

You can even friend The Machine Spirit.

You do not "befriend" the machine spirit...

you light incense and chant to it, that way it stays working...the same way Lego keeps the site running, light in incense and chant....

Yeah, it was either here or the off-topic forum. In retrospect, the off-topic forum would have easily been the most appropriate forum.

What can I say, I was blinded in the glory of the mere presence of the Machine Spirit.
