You know, the first thing my flatmate said when she saw the link on her 
laptop was "Nooooooooo! Now I'll dream about wandering over endless 
glaciers in a freezing blizzard trying to find the seed vault! Why did it

Which was right before I read your response and laughed; I got a *very* 
cross look. And a worse one when I explained! <grin>
