    Lol. I was going to post this. I always suspected my local ISP was powered by hamsters hopped up on Coca-cola and Pop Rocks, but who knew about STS?




    If I was going to guess, I'd say something to do with power supplies and/or UPS, but just maybe.....

    I'm amazed that there are quite few people that don't know what a gerbil swap means

    I swear we've had this before... or it could've been from another game where they used the words "gerbil swap".

    The new ones are probably triple-crown gerbils, while the old ones were common gerbils. Course, the old ones could just be that: old. Hope there's some good spa time waiting for the old ones. They deserve it!

    Wee little saunas, gerbil masseuses, a nice pitcher of alfalfa mojitos and gerbils lounging around a swimming pool. The players are obviously not the only ones STS knows how to take care of.
