Randomness abound!
So quite possibly the strangest thing I've encountered in a long while.. I was looking around and cleaning up my hard drive when I noticed three folders with apperently random names but with what looked to be the same content. In each folder were two files innocous files: "spcustom.dll", "update.exe".
Read on, it gets interesting
Being the inquisitive type I wanted to know what they were, since they weren't big enough to be a service pack (which was my first thought). So I opened them up in a hex editor.. nothing too interesting, just the usual junk. Then I opened up one of the copies of "update.exe", and was in for a bit of a surprise..
What was in it you might ask? Well here's your answer (a brief excerpt):
An explosion rocks the ship as two construction robots,
ARTOO DETOO (R2-D2) and SEE THREEPIO (C-3PO) struggle
to make their way through the shaking, bouncing passage-
way. Both robots are old and battered. Artoo is a
short (36 inches), claw-armed, triped. His face is a
mass of computer lights, surrounding a radar eye.
Threepio, on the other hand, is a tall, slender robot
of human proportions. He has a gleaming bronze-like
metallic surface of an "Art Deco" design.
That's right! The whole friggin script to Star Wars, circa 1975.
So yeah, I'm really puzzled how the hell this all happened. But if you want a copy of the script, lol, here you go.
