August 10
Since we just started a major This Just In event, it's a good time to look back at one of the earliest articles. Today (well, yesterday) on 5MV 3 Years Ago, we have TJI's tenth issue: Episode II title causes AI research catastrophe. I wrote this shortly after the news broke that Episode II would be called "Attack of the Clones." Kira's cited this one before as one of her favourites, and I hope those of you who are just reading it now will enjoy it too. Pretend you just heard AotC's title and the outrage is fresh in your mind. Speaking of TJI history, bonus points for the first one to catch the two references to past articles in #41 yesterday. Don't post the answers if you spot them -- PM me. I have a reason for that request.

Actually, I had just reread #10 the other day, though I can't at the moment recall what led me to do so. It's still good.
Spotted one of the references in yesterday's after I had posted in the thread. I'll have to mull over the second a bit longer. Edit: BTW, the "Return to Front Page" link at the bottom of #41 is returning a 404.

In fact, issues #39, #40, and #41 all don't have the correct link to TJI home. Further, the "Previous Article" link in #41 takes you to #39 not #40. Also, the TJI home page has no links to #41 anywhere and neither does issue #39! In addition, #37 has no link to #38. Subsequently, #38 has a link to itself instead of #39. Finally, I think that's it - but that's no guarantee.

NAHTMMM is the winner of the bonus points, being the first (and so far only) one to spot both references. They were these:
I'll deal with the bugs you mentioned next update, Xeroc. One of them's not a bug: you'll often find that a subsite's main page is a couple of days late in listing a new fiver/article. This happens when I have time to upload the new content but not enough time to handle all the supporting pages.

....Does this mean I should have posted before five minutes ago?
...I'm not getting sued now, am I? I have like two cents and a Tootsie Roll wrapper.

And the Clones in the movie were the good guys. The title actually means "Attack of the Good Guys". Dear Lord... :roll:

Hehehehehe.

Yeah, although I`m contemplating a move to Ullapool. It`s my second favourite non-existing city, after Uttoxeter, of course. :twisted:

*Froths at the mouth*
Ullapool is NOT A CITY, dammit! It's a rather boring town! And Uttoxeter is a city! ARRGGHHH!
