Shocking Development
Michael M.

I have a friend who's hobby is tinkering with various software coding.

Recently, while cracking the source code for the Windows OS, he discovered some seemingly innocuous and and superfulous code buried deep within the middle of the kernel. It seemed to be little more than filler.

When he translated the binary language into plain English he found the following phrases:

ONE OS TO RULE THEM ALL
ONE OS TO FIND THEM
ONE OS TO BRING THEM ALL
AND IN THE DARKNEWSS BIND THEM
IN THE LAND OF REDMOND WHERE THE SHADOWS LIE...
