Random thought of the moment:

It occurred to me just now that I never did figure out the origins of "L is real 2041" in SM64. Rumors about the meaning of this phrase were rampant at the time of the game's release. Of course, now that people have begun hacking away at SM64 in earnest, it seems pretty clear that there is no dramatic hidden secret lurking somewhere.

A gander at Youtube turns up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luUpQFR8j9A . Is that what all the fuss was about? A blurry texture that could actually read as anything?
