[03:00:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> that disturbs my brain.

[03:08:50] <takyon> as in, further delayed from the Feb 6th date
[03:09:58] <Bytram> takyon: thanks for the update.
[03:09:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, he's talkin to you. everyone knows i don't care about space unless someone discovered hot green chicks in it.
[03:10:32] <Bytram> I'm getting the impression that they have bench-checked everything they possibly can... at this point, all they have left to do is light it up and see what happens.
