Yes, it’s a glitch in the matrix. Or rather, in BB.

Something’s broken in the image uploader code, so you’re going to see that some images have overwritten some older images. We’re working to restore them as soon as we can..

Till then, If you have time, it’d be really, really helpful for us if you could help us find questions where the images have been overwritten. So, if you feel like doing a little good deed, please send in the paths to the screwed up questions to boiledbeans@gmail.com

Oh, your regular question will be posted as usual.

Rampant speculation, this. Consider it more along the “arbit” vector, as opposed to the “knowledge dissemination” vector.

(1) , although better known for something else, used to teach (2)’s techniques to people. (1) allegedly used (3) in something famous he created. Who is (1), what did he create, and what’s the connect to (2) and (3)?
