It's (apparently) the origin of the 750t capacity of the Anaconda.

Legend has it that it was written down, but then a coffee was put down on the notes, and left a ring across the figure. Hence what was originally 250t got misread as 750t.

Well, that's blown that one. Don't they have spoiler warnings on Thargoidia?

In honour of my long-standing bad habit of sending people emails with the subject header, "Don't forget the subject this time", and in memoriam of all those old web-pages titled, "Insert Page-Title Here", I think, "Easter egg goes here."

"Shunt" and "Sgt Bash" would be fun names. Of course I'm just thinking of names of House Robots from Robot Wars. :P

I didn't ask a question. How could I have written the "question" I did if I didn't understand the coffee references? ( <-- That's an actual, though rhetorical, question.) If you have trouble understanding tense, aspect and mood relationships in the English language, too bad; don't swear at me.
