So I'm down with a fever today—really—and Glenda appeared to me in my
fitful dreams and shared its true inner thoughts about the the Earth's
inhabitants.  It's single poigniant utterance was singularly pithy,
and seemed to ring true on some cosmic level.  For just a moment, I
was at peace, and elevated—I believe—to that higher plane of
consciousness from which Plan 9 must have first emerged.  I thought it
might make a good slogan, so I slammed together another poster/flyer
(with appoligies to Stanley Kubrick this time).

Enjoy.

The link is dead, never to be repaired.  Sorry.
