Yes, that appears to be The Woz. On a Segway. Taking a whizz…

Update: This was a staged photo, of course.

Harper names 18 Senators

“Among those appointed are journalists Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin and former Canadian Olympian Nancy Greene Raine.”

Am I the only one scratching his head and going “WTF?”

You are in a dimly-lit room surrounded by humming machines. It is rather cold.

A cypher-locked door is behind you. It is closed.

Before you is a white-board with this incantation scrawled across it in faintly luminous blue marker:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda

An old Unix greybeard steps out from behind one of the machines, hands you a quarter, and says, “Here, kid. Go buy yourself a real computer.”

Intoning “XYZZY”, he vanishes.
