From the dream archives: I dreamed that I had purchased a fancy new server. Not just some desktop, but a big honking chunk of retro-iron from back in the day. It was huge. It shipped in a big wooden crate. I was at Points South and unpacking the thing with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
austonianb. He was wielding a pry bar and enthusiastically ripping planks off the side of the box. We eventually got the thing out of its crate and we noticed a large—for lack of a better word—bladder attached to the side of the server. Inside the bladder was a large lump of pink flesh. Long thin tendrils extended from the flesh through a hole in the bladder. As we stared at the thing, a bit of blood dripped on the floor. It was seriously disgusting. I recall the enthusiasm on austonianb's face draining away. Then he picked up a sheet of illustrated instructions that showed how the tendrils were intended to be attached to the server's CPU. Suddenly a realization hit him and he declared: "My god, it's meat cooled!"
