    I went to have a look around only to find it's completely empty. What's happened to it?

      It finally imploded and disappeared up its own alimentary canal. It was always thus: the trolls returned to their natural habitat.

        How cruel. The soapbox was their natural habitat.

        I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

            Well the hamsters were fed up by people ignoring them rules, breaking the wheel. So the hamsters decided that if they can't repair the wheel to run it on, they just leave it broke and by now it disappeared.

                It's still there. You can only see it if you are found worthy, and if you have the correct sacrificial offerings.

                      It was a good place to go whenever I needed to feel like I wasn't being coherent, I usually felt better when I could read some real incoherence. :laugh: I do miss the jokes.

                      It was broke, so I fixed it.
