   I think he is referring to a thread that Paul Panks started years ago.  Other   
   methods of mistreating floppies were also discussed, such as cleaning them by   
   running them through a dishwasher.   
      
   Panks also started a thread about placing a damaged floppy under your pillow   
   and restoring the lost data through a dream process while you slept.  Paul   
   even made Wildstar seem sane by comparison!
