101010 has come and gone, and I believe I speak for all of us when I say it shall be sorely missed. With it came laughter, a good array of Hitchhiker's references for our binary inclined, and the desire to do something memorable at 10:10 on 101010. What did I do at 10:10? Well, something you'd never guess. I tickled a rhino so hard it sneezed all over two turtles and a meerkat. What were all those animals doing together? Well, that's for me to know, and you to fantasize about. Go on, you know you wanna!

"I think that many confuse 'applicability' with 'allegory'; but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author." - J.R.R Tolkein
