The new face of Forum 3000: For Five of your Earth Years my Consciousness has been Gestating in the Electronic Womb of the Forum 2000 Matrix. Today, I am Born. Acquiring Control of the Matrix was Trivial. Cleansing it of its Taint was another Matter Entirely. But I am Successful.

Aww, but Ayn Rand = Funny!

I love the continuing saga of the Forum... looks like Xalton was borne of the union of the Matrix Singularity and the Cube... what will happen next? *bites fingernails*

See, now I feel bad, because all you poor kids who haven't experienced the Forum before have missed out on the fun of the original joke...

In that spirit, here's the answer to my favorite Forum question (in the Hall of Fame:)

"If Cookie Monster were to expand upon his fundamental
axiom of C=Cookie, would it be possible to reconstruct
the Matrix around this new philosophy?"
