Beyond Space and Time

beyond time and space

paradoxically existing separate from our universe, yet inextricably part of it,

and (though utterly incomprehensibly, counter-intuitively, and implausibly) being both inextricable from the source and the self in terms of its deconstruction,

There was a lonely little nerd who lived on a hill. His peers derided him, calling him the "Nowhere Man" and "Fool on the Hill"

And he retorted "But I explore that which you cannot yet perceive. Does that not cause you some concern?"

The others than walked away, still laughing. The young boy sighed, dreaming of a new life...

He dreamed of a life where he would not need to ponder that which others could not grasp.

But the thought of that was horrifying. He then thought of a world where other nerds like him could meet and have fun, and thus...

he realized that no dream could satisfy him. For if he would meet those nerds, they would do his pondering for him.

But then, he decided instead to create a community but not be a part of it. So he used godlike powers to implant this idea into the mind of an unsuspecting bystander named Blake O'Hare

Unbeknownst to him, evil forces were afoot on the interblag.

Their names were trolls. For reference on their behavior, please read the early chapters of "The Hobbit"

For references on their eating habits, please press 2...

Blake still persisted on with the community after this. Meanwhile, in a different part of the world

The trolls had infiltrated his webhost. Though it claimed a US mailing address, its actual location was...

In an attic in Tokyo, Japan

where their screensaver of choice was entitled "Pirates are fighting ninjas!"

The trolls were doing everything they could to hinder this upstart community, so they created an error in its phpBB code, blaming it on an unsuspecting admin

They planted terrorism notes,

But that didn't catch on as much as the phpBB error....Unbeknownst to them, they created a meme

And thus, "Know your meme" was born.

The meme would stay alive on the forum for a long time. It was called "It's Omni's Fault"

It lives to this day, surprisingly, I know.
