This is akin to a team that suffered, sweated, agonized over building a 
castle for the last 3 years and when the last rock was about to be 
placed, a noble from the back asked when the mote would be started.  The 
noble was immediately gagged and eventually hanged but that was another 
story...

The story had a happy ending as all the castle builders locked 
themselves up with a fast comp, 2 maidens each, and Ruby 1.9 which 
eventually lead to the singularity theorem being realized within the 
span of 2 short weeks.
