        @cstross I'm pretty sure the original was in Russian. "muhym" is misinterpreted "минут", ie. "minutes" (in handwriting Cyrillic и looks exactly like Latin u and н looks like n) etc.

                              Real "Send three and fourpence we are going to a dance" energy there. Did someone dictate it into something set for the wrong language?

                              Mayor Snorkum would approve.

                                @cstross Being careful in time of death is overrated anyway, but the pacclabmech... really? That's too much.
