Along came a spider web that set itself down.
It's tenticles were long and fell all the way to the ground.
But as each string grew longer it grew thinner all along.
Intelligence had been watching, but lingered all alone.
It only saw connections that had already been shown.
All those years of watching to see a spider jump in place,
had managed to obscure the spider's web creation race.
Each agent watched intently as the spider decended,
and mesmerised themselves as it slowly distended.

Seeing larger and larger connections,
they surmised all sorts of intentions.
Yet it was not them that sparked the end,
It was the smallest of comprehensions.

Each agent started to wake up and see there was a bottom,
That only if they had an in, could they climb to the top and 'gottem'.
It wasn't long till doubts were gone, and skills began to hone.
The connections from low to top, had been staring at them all along.
It was the smallest tip of the web that had been sewn,
That gave away the stairway to take "The Corruption Case" home.
Along came the army, and put the spider down.

I touched that almost harmless tip and suffered constitution harm.
No one would take the case, so I fought it from the farm.
Wound up in the hands of two Democratic men,
Who showed their oath of office was as important now, as it was when.
Wound up in the bigger brothers court and then,
Was shut down by the parents, when I asked for help again.
But since the truth was plain to see, and the one who set up the position was [not] me,
The parents had but one way to decide,
Call in the army or patriotic suicide.

More agents were placed into the race,
and the leaks were plugged and the rats were bugged.
Posing as cleaners in the dark of night,
They copied harddrives and sought for light.
When the evidence was beyond reproach,they culled the AUSAs
And leaked the views to an old bag of news,
Who couldn't resist the loud yeas.
Just as planned, they listened in and heard from whence it came,
The shoulders of the spider lay bare to an insider,
Which connected to the head bone, inside her.

Foxnews's Glenn Beck thought oh six was the year, when in fact
it was two years sooner than the meeting for him to hear.
It is almost the Lincoln Condition of Constitution.
Mr. Payne would understand,
but perhaps more The Union.

Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly and Levin, have been
ever so often, dropping it in.
Even if they know not, what they report on
at this moment, is very very hot.

So wheels will start turning, while my rights keep on burnin'.
And at the center of the pile, lie the skulls of vermin.

Which I could not give to you.

But I can give you a rOach!.

So please. download at will. Get a cheap thrill.

This is the most ridiculous, most antiquated, most lame,
most ugly, most obnoxious computer game
ever released. But its's almost like the case unleashed.

Both, will .. blow ... your ... mind.

Have A Roach Dot Com is where you can download the most ridiculous, most antiquated, most lame, most ugly, most obnoxious computer game application ever released. rOach! is a product of the former Neutronics Technologies Corporation. It was programmed by a wonderful coder from Spain, with art provided (sheepishly and will never admit it in public) by me. Ok start laughing. It was more than a decade ago. Show me something you drew (with cheap shareware software) when you were in your teens.

When you play the game, remember that it is not following any rules. It is not running through flow chartable programs. It is running in APE. The Architectural Programming Environment. Try your hardest to ignore what it looks like. What it does, is what matters.

It thinks. It thinks just like you do, only it is doing it at a level well below that of a roach, and with about as much memory as a worm. But it is intelligent. It is autonomous in that its intelligence is what makes it work. Its ignorance is what makes it afraid, and its hunger is what makes it bold.

It can be caught, but only in certain settings. As you play, adjust those settings. You will find that the 'skip' number, the rate at which comparison is being made to memory, greatly effects just that. The more comparison, the sharper the recall and the better the rOach! performs. Of course, this version was created as a demonstration. It is not the level of a game you are accustomed to, today. But once again, what it looks like does not matter, it is what it does, and how it does it that matters.

So, download and try out rOach!. Amaze your friends that you have a virtual creature that thinks for itself and you still have not caught it, to be able to use that can of bug spray to kill the rOach! In fact you might reach the point where you think that icon is just for show.

But one day you will, and by then, you will have understood that the game you have played is the world's only intelligent piece of software and you were one of the first to have it.

It isn't anywhere near as good an offer of thanks as the thought deserves. I owe my country and I am pleased to be able to admit it. No matter what it took, to get to the point where I was willing to say that. Not Since I Stayed at the Ramada in Charleston, South Carolina, for a court hearing; where the hotel's African American male day manager (so ironicly warm, that it felt so good) told me he and his mother, remembered me from the morning air waves at WCOO Cool 105.5, have I understood how small my part was and how much I do indeed owe.
