Milk bottles in the supermarkets in the UK are now using weird sizes like 1.136l, because apparently that easier for some old cunt to read.

Rope? I thought Jabba used a gold chain?

WAAAY before that: MUDs via BBS (and later Telnet/zMUD 5.55)

Turned out it was Kinbozan, so i was right, but also meh.
