Events (2004)

• Folk from all Christendom celebrated the Birth of God (and Ngo) on Earth by eating food.
• In Pthagland it snowed on and off all day, making it an Intermittently White Christmas.
• The ZBB remained down to further WOE.
• Only to reawaken later, however peel considers it "sort of [an] anti-climax."
• Miekko was drunk

• The ZBB went down AGAIN, to the general WOE of the PEOPLE, and it was TRAGIC.

• The Apostrophic People's Front in Liechtenstein (APF) has now been completely annihilated. Let us remember their leader ’’’’’ ’’’ ’’’’’’’’ /?: ? ?::/. The new Liechtensteinian spelling reform has erased all apostrophes, thus merging orthographical minimal pairs such as sm’øl "Duke of small, unimportant alp reich" and smøl "Dictator".

• Very early in the morning, a defeated and tired JT prints out an x-sampa chart.
• "My teeth are perfect," says a notably thrilled Spack.
• "The milestone of 256 articles is reached!" says a not-so-thrilled Pthag.
• Radius changes his IRC nick to Ravintolassa.

• ZBB went down, reenacting the traumatical experiences of last year.

• Today, nothing happened.

• Peel shows harsh anti-ZBBwiki feelings:

[17:29] <Kruger> Is there a z-sampa/ipa chart floating around anywhere?

[17:30] <Noriega> zbbwiki

[17:30] <peel> Fuck off with your spam.

Later, people understood that he was, through IRC, trying to communicate with the people who send him spam e-mails.

• Camellia_sinensis also notes that women cannot father bastards.
• The Apostrophic People's Front in Liechtenstein (APF) bravely fought of the Austrian troops in some alp-combat. One mountain has now been remodeled and looks like a really big apostrophe. Its new name is "Das große Auslassungszeichen". The German name for the APF is "Die Auslassungszeichenvolksfront" (AZVF).

• Peel exhibited signs of hysteria throughout the evening. These signs are attested in the logs.
• The Apostrophic People's Front in Liechtenstein overthrows the dictatoric ruler Hans Adam II (what a silly name) and renames the capital Vaduz to V'ad&apos;&apos;uz. Austrian UN forces, lead by the young general Adelbert Hilter, are ready for attack. Hans Adam II's last words were "I will never allow zis apostrophocalypse – aaargh".

• Nortala today is having a birthday. Or rather, she had it and it's over already, because the Aussies have no idea what the correct time really is.
• Today is the International Apostrophe Day. Anti-Apostrophic demonstrations gathered some 3 billion people world wide. In Liechtenstein, 47 were killed in apostrophic confrontations.
• Pthag today finished The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. He thought, for a 3000 page novel, it had astounding momentum and was rather surprised that it had an ending, tho' was disappointed at the same time. He eagerly awaits the next doorstop, which should, at the current rate, be a 9-volume epic set in the Dark Ages.
• JT started a font, but decided against it until he understands his old notes better. >_<
• British Home Secretary David Blunkett, of Erosion of Civil Liberties Fame Resigned. His dog will be missed.

• In #almea, Cevlakohn lost his temper again.
• Peel slaughtered off seven random bystanders (little children walking past) due to the hysteria caused by a minor miscalibration of the sock around his left foot.
• JT is a bit under the weather today...of course the weather isn't so hot either. More like freezing. Snow, that is.
• This day, Aelfric usurped the see of Durham from Saturnus. He fought a hard battle and was slain by King William, leaving Saturnus Bishop. More bloody Northmen with their dragon-boats. Brother Watchkeeper is getting worried. We are low on milk.
• In other news, Blackhand went shopping, and decided to accesorise! Grunting Buffalo, here I come!

• It snowed with much snowing in Pittsburgh. JT took his linguistics and statistics final exams at CMU.
• Meanwhile, on the Central Coast, Australia, it was raining quite heavily, with much scaring-the-fuck-out-of-people thunder. A great start to summer.
• In central Illinois it was quite windy and cold. It was snowing all day but the snow did not accumulate, as it was evaporated by the wind - it didn't melt!
