# Hrm.
I have a strange feeling of dismay that I can not only remember an image from 6 years ago, but also who posted it...

-edit- Also, someone's just asked me if you do one for smartphones. You should manufacture these! True, it'd be like a technological ponzi scheme, but some people would fall for it surely ;)

I have no idea how to go about marketing something like this, but if anyone does then I'll happily collaborate with them for 90% of the profits.

# Yeah, I was reading about that earlier.
It's a bit mad, coca leaves != cocaine, and they have been chewed in the Andes for millennia. They taste a bit rank, but you can get coca sweeties which are very pleasant.

# Anderson? Hmm. There's a thought.
I was gonna try my hand at some A.B.C. Warriors, but I might stick around Mega City One for a bit longer..

At least they left my name on it. Also, I changed it a few hours after I posted it, making the USB plug a bit bigger and tagging it more subtly. Interesting that it's the first version on there.

# Thank you.
That's very kind of you, but there's probably no point. It seems to be hosted in quite a few different places on the internet already. And anyway, that's why we make silly pictures and post them on b3ta, in the hope that people find them funny. If people want to spread the picture around, I'm happy to bask in the fleeting internet fame.

This is my favourite:

Someone asking why it wouldn't work, someone else giving a po-faced answer. The Aspergers is strong in this one.

# Great invention
..it reminds me of logic of when i was a little kid and had a toy pick up truck. I couldn't understand why the winch wouldn't pick its own back wheels off the floor.
