NIHILIST REBUTTAL: More excuses from the guy who thought Operation Barbarosa was code for the Nazi invasion of Canada.

SISYPHUS RESPONDS: True, I am embarrassed to admit that I am responsible for my teams wrong answer on Operation Barbarossa (to use the proper spelling) but at least we knew that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth” was from the Gettysburg Address and not the preamble to Star Wars: Episode I.

Hmmmm, interesting that the Nihilist and his Fraters team are better versed in Nazi military code names than they are in one of the great speeches of American history.
