Geek Moment!
So, I’m playing the 3D cyberpunk video game “Deus Ex” yesterday… I find a note that an engineer has left for his superior, alerting him that the new root password for the local computer system is “reindeerflotilla.”
I sit there and think, “That sounds so familiar… why is that familiar to me?”
Turns out it’s the internal level 6 password to the Emcon mainframe that Jeff Bridges uses in the movie “Tron.”
Why does my brain only store this stuff? Why can’t I remember anything useful?

dude.
that’s pretty obscure. what calculus formula did you replace to hang onto that? 🙂
Hee. I figured that the directions to his house got displaced by that. 😀
BTW — it was good that you got yourself on the “Space Rogues” test; it would be worrisome if you were anyone else. 🙂
