Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations

aarrieta writes "I was thinking about the location of Slashdotters around the world. Many of us read /. from our houses/offices/schools. But I guess there are people reading Slashdot from non-traditional places/sites (an oil platform in the middle of the sea, Antarctica, the ISS, etc?) But what's the strangest place you've ever read Slashdot from, or the most remote place you're currently reading it from?"

    I'm posting this from that mythical place we have all heard of. Outside.

    I don't know how much longer my body can take the bombardment of these intense rays of heat and light. Man was not designed to undergo such a harsh and cruel environment. The people around me walk with no regard for their fate. Not knowing that little by little this intense heat is killing them just as it is me.

    It is for the better of those in my local D&D group that I am undergoing this experiment. I know, one day, that my dice will be saved in remembrance of this great and perilous journey.
