The Call of Codethulhu

When I read that I thought, what would happen if the source code for JavaOp was lost and you died? I think the situation would be quite similar, if not worse. :P

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Call of Cthluhu (or however you spell it) was an RPG long before Metallica made Call of Ktulu a song. Cthluhu is a monster in the books by HP Lovecraft, one of iago's heros. And this was just in the daily wtf, nothing I made up personally.

However, I was just about to post a Lars Ulrich related thread in Newby's forum. :P

It's not really a book... it's a short story.

Technically, the short stories are in books :)

But either way, yeah.  HP Lovecraft invented Cthulhu way back in the 1920's.  Other more modern authors took the lore and ran with it. 

And yeah, I've read that story.  I read the Daily WTF every day.  But I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen with JavaOp -- it's not important enough to have to disassemble.

They're still short stories! :'(
