Unofficial Encyclopedia of FIBS BS - Patti

[Leudwulf]

The 'Patti' are an advanced alien race who long ago overcame their global warming issues by converting from carbon based energy production to something far more advanced.  Human angst syphoned through a worm holed connected to the FIBS server fuels their civilization.

This venture was met with many technological leaps and set-backs.  At first, human angst on the FIBS server came and went in spurts.  As G W Bush will tell you, "Unreliable sources of energy ain't worth a turd nugget in a frat party punch bowl."  The Patti briefly considered invading neighbouring planets in a desperate attempt to capture more angst, but they thought better of it.  While death, destruction and misery in the guise of freedom certainly would close all gaps in angstful energy production, a pristine new technology proved to be leaps and bounds superior to anything that ever came before.

Small scale testing of this new technology proved to generate over 100,000 times more angst than any previous effort.  This technology was called, 'The FIBS Dice Generator'.  So much angst was created that The Patti's energy demands were not only addressed, but wiped out completely.  Free energy for all!  It was truly an amazing accomplishment.

However, The Patti are also wise.  They asked themselves what would happen if the Dice Generator went down?  Emergency back-up solutions were sought.  'The Shout Window' was installed and seeded with American politics.  'Gammonbots' were freely distributed among the population.  Finally, 'The 24 Hour Shutdown' was implemented.  

With these measures in place, The Patti have ensured themselves a bright future.
