In case wondering where the title for James' news item came from has been driving you crazy, check out this article from The Register that explains why 'all your base are belong to us':

Thank you! I almost went mad trying to figure out what that meant (ever since I saw it in the sig of a post a few days ago), once it appeared as a news item I almost threw the whole computer out my window .

I knew people would get a kick out of it. I even got emails from people correcting my grammar.

Actually James, it should be 'all your APP are belong to us' (not APPS) ;p
How's that for 'correcting' your grammar?

I only found about this "thing" a couple of days ago and I'm already tired of it.

Another example

Another sighting:

http://www.movieheadlines.net/default.php3?postid=4635

When I saw this one, I wasn't aware of the origin, and I thought it was part of the movie, and thought James had just seen the trailer or something. Of course, that phrase was not in there, and I was confused (doesn't take much, does it?).

Thanks for the Register link.
