    I mean they had really cool looking uniforms but there's no connection between their philosophies and what these people seem to want. Look up Fascism people! You virus writers won't actually like it. Honest!

    I think a more appropriate date would be February 27. The date that led to the total 0wnage of Weimar Germany.

    I mean, lots of stuff happened on January 5th.

    They could be celebrating the 2000 Al Qaeda Summit! Or the first PC by Hewlett Packard! Maybe the birth of Marilyn Manson! Lots of possibilities... or maybe, just maybe... it has no meaning.
