    Blender, the cross-platform, open source 3d suite, has released version 2.43

    So Blender has become self-aware and is now rapidly releasing updates of itself, no doubt gaining strength and influence with each new version, until it is powerful enough to control the world's nuclear arsenal, so it can wipe out humanity and jumpstart the era of software...

    Man, that sucks!
