This has to do with a humorous translation of an older manual translated from japanese.

The boys found it funny and used it for the album name. :D derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
