This isnât anything significant, or worth much of your attention, or even Mac-r
elated. Itâs just so damned Twilight Zone-ish I felt compelled
to mention it here.
Iâm just amazed at the inherent paradox and Escher-loop oddness of this particu
lar torrent I found this morning on Mininova
â itâs the one that says âFAKE, DO NOT DOWNLOADâ, if you can read it. Appa
rently this one is so fake it's even 706mb big.
So what the heck is it supposed to be? What is it a fake version of? Do I have
to download it to find out? But it clearly says do NOT download. And what could
it be that itâs even over 700mb? A movie? An app? Do I let my curiosity overri
de the obvious warning? If itâs not supposed to be downloaded then why even put
up the damned torrent? Or is it some trick, some double-blind guessing game th
at would reward the overly curious or the overly dumb? Or is it an obvious pran
k or trap, something to drive someone like me who had to come to work extremely
early because of the car coding ban and has nothing better to do than idly sur
f while waiting for the rest of the office to come in stir-crazy?
Clearly there's already one crazy leecher getting the thing. Do I succumb too a
nd join in? Make it a party?
Pwe.
And donât get me started on the ones just below it â âVIRUSâ?
