Performing some much needed file cleanup I found a mystery script, all one line of it, pulling a couple of random words from a text file of so-called naughty words. Trivial, funny in a sad way.

From the 'orses mouth:

Ten years on and still the Orstrayun guvm'nt rolls on with its intrepid plans to filter the internet… maybe one day they'll stop being a laughing stock.
