So here are some of these pictures" The pictures are pretty amazing and make the urgency of this whole thing much more amazing.

    The Slashdot spam, Hawaiian shirt and queer glasses means Roland will never be in space. I like the idea of a Roland sacrifice though ;-)

    Charleton Heston had this to say when he learned about the tiles:

    "You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God...damn you all to hell!"
