Earlier today I "sent" a NG message to SRC from here with a attached JPEG
file but throughout the day the message did not get propagated (some
glitch?). So, if anyone wants to see what Paul Allen's (co-founder of
Microsoft) big yacht looks like that he paid for out of doubly overpriced
MS software, go here:

http://advocacy.freeshell.org/a-yacht.jpg

and have a look, swoon or eat your hearts out or get mad.

Any comments, speculations, reactions, or snotty remarks...I'll be waiting
with baited breath.

The image will be taken off that URL after a few days.

Two helipads and a submarine, named "Octopus"? It looks and sounds
like something the bad guys would have in James Bond movies (the good
ones, with Sean Connery ;-) ). This would jibe with my opinion that
MicroSloth is in fact an evil cabal bent on world domination, just
like Spectre only run by geeks.

....and...reminding me of the one with the blond damsel whose name was
"Octopussy"! Could Paul Allen have experienced some Freudian influence in
naming and procuring a James-Bondsian sized yacht? With, yes, a
Bondsian/SPECTRE (whatever) submarine?

They already got it, just have to keep it now.

....nah....by thugs
