Yeah. It turns out that Rusty (halfbaked@my.BBQ) is the result of an
unfortunate prenatal accident: his mother was frightened by a shoe
salesman. Okay, she was really scared by a blacksmith, but he
*was* trying to put a new set of shoes on her at the time. Now you
know why he's scared of iron and why he's such a horse's a.s.
As for the MI-5 cretin, here's a post that's been making the rounds:

The sad thing about Mike Corley is that he is in fact being observed
by MI-9, a supersecret organization headquartered in Madley, England.

According to the Ordnance Survey web site, it's in Herefordshire and
famous for its medieval moat. That has to be significant...

So are mine. However, it tells me what it has filtered, so I still get
the line even though the content has gone!
