bushwhacked by a gang of thugs dressed in black, shrouded robes, <br>shackled by the chains they were carrying and taken down into the dark <br>depths of The Submarine where they forced beer down our throats (from the <br>kegs they had stock-piled down there) until we passed out.<br><br>We awoke days later to find ourselves in what turned out to be Arizona, <br>with our pants on backwards and our wallets/ID missing.<br><br>In putting our pants back on frontwards, someone noticed that we had all <br>received tattoos onto our backsides:<br><br> " q = A [ dT ( K/s + hc ) + ( σ * T^4 ) ] "<br><br>... which of course, you will recognise as the WatJohn phrase quoted <br>above, written in EnginoidalSpeak.<br><br>We later determined that those thugs in dark robes who had Shanghai'd us <br>were engineers who, as part of their traditional rituals
