Yes, I can! I'm told that an old, old, old (think: DOS) PC game, made in
Japan before they'd got the hang of translation, would say "all your base
are belong to us!" when the machine won. It's since then been adopted by
various gaming and warez communities, among others (disclaimer: if I offend
a sub-group by leaving them out, sorry!). Sort of a generic
<cliche>anarchist-hacker</cliche> statement.

Does anyone know how a fan quote ('All your base are belong to us') from the
online game Planetarion (www.planetarion.com) got into the header of this
message?:
