It either came pre-installed or was on the welcome disc, can't remember which. I've no idea if any of the Look Around You team were involved, but I'd love to find out.

Comment: “Try explaining to someone in 2021 that this is a remix created in ~2007 of a song from a TV show from 2005 that's a parody of a show from the early 80s where there's a segment for people showing what they think music in 2000 sounds like”

RIP Claudette Colvin, one of several women arrested for not giving up their seats on buses before Rosa Parks
But Rosa was prettier, more light skinned, more respectable, and leaders in the Civil Rights Movement thought she would make a better "face" for the movement.

Fun fact: Before the London Underground was built, wild tube trains burrowed freely beneath the city. The later Victorian engineering works are still impressive, but should be considered equivalent to the domestication of the horse — tracks and platforms being analogous to horseshoes and stables.

It's almost annoying how smart the idea is of taking over the Church of England. It's weak as fuck, but has institutional power and loads of assets. And what is the pushback really? Do loads of anti-racists atheists have to join to fight them off? Can they truly be arsed?

They know that if Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, were not there sniveling in the dark, the other one, the flute-player, could make no joyful music as the young riders line up in their beauty for the race in the sunlight of the first morning of summer.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, lived happily ever after, playing the piano for his sister at the city concert hall, which is all she ever wanted.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he cut in Night City, and he'd still see the matrix in his dreams, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colourless void...

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die with two double bourbons inside him, sat in the final departure lounge of Miami Airport and thought about life and death.
The snow in the mountains was melting and Tiny Tim had NOT been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
