Hello Melissa, every time I read that line I think of the promo for "Night of the Living Dead"

"The dead shall inherit the Earth."

Good evening again, Melissa.

I've seen the movie, but I don't remember that tagline. It makes sense, though.

Not any big conspiracy or anything, I simply removed the first newsgroup from your crosspost:

"alt.arts.poetry,alt.arts.poetry.comments,rec.arts.poems"

Since JLA Forums doesn't carry "alt.arts.poetry," and the post eventually appeared.

Abc so it goes.

It is Usenet, not just more or less. It's a web interface to the Eternal September Usenet cluster.

We must all hope Ray is immortal. Usenet would be in worse shape without
him.

Okay, I've no doubt Usenet will probably outlive me.

The very same "sacred text" that mentions this, once, also mentions
killing the infidel, raping their women, smashing babies' heads onto
rocks and enslaving the enemies of the System Lord Ra many, many
times.

I suspect we can judge which behaviours the writers considered
important.

Still, it's a nice limerick, Melissa. Thank you.

I'm keeping a copy if that's okay?

I've seen the movie, but I don't remember that tagline. It makes sense, though.

I've looked online and haven't seen the quote in connection to the movie (or the similar comic book from 1973), which is surprising.
