If you were around during Orson Welles' _War of the Worlds_ radio
broadcast, you'd have been one of those crazy idiots running screaming through
the streets, wouldn't you? "The Martians are coming! The Martians are coming!"
This is the kind of thing that is gradually breaking my faith in basic
human intelligence. I don't even think it was a troll! Just a little bit of
humor. But hey, it didn't have any smilies; so it gets all the way to the
head of ID. Yikes.
