Ever noticed that Christmas specials of British shows are always creepy and scary? That's because they have an old tradition of telling ghost stories around Christmas.
@rlb There are 10 kinds of people. Those who get the joke, those who don't get the joke, those who don't know when to stop telling the joke, and those who don't know about quaternary.
Must admit it took me a couple of seconds to get that. Used to do different bases at school and of course old enough to remember imperial weights and measures and the old lsd rather than decimal currency so you really had to be familiar with different bases. Not sure I ever programmed in octal but definitely used hex in the 80's when I started my career as a programmer, although a long time since I did that.
Damnit Iceland! You forgot to close the door to your demonbeast's cave and now it is in Sweden's woods. And it eats up Ireland that wanted to eat mushroom for dinner and the mooses took he's basket with mushroom! And now is Ireland dead, Iceland!
Thank you! :angry:
@comrade_Comrade A long time ago, before the dawning of YouTube...that was indeed the case. Nowadays the only way to scare kids is by tossing their iPhones into the grinder.
It was Christmas time in Scandinavia. Harald woke up to find himself standing outside in the cold, at a funeral procession. The moon shone through the snowy trees, shining a beam of light onto the casket. Harald heard ominous music playing in the background as he walked towards the casket. Finally, he arrived. He opened the casket, and saw himself inside.

For those, christmas IS a horror story.
