/ Question... what are these stairs that everyone keeps referring to? I assume
/ its some in-joke that didn't make it into the FAQ
I can't remember exactly what the debate was about, but it reached
the point where everyone was running for cover when the carp started
flying. The most popular place was Gurth's stairs. After someone
would make a comment they would follow with the phrase <runs for
Gurth's stairs>. We even had a virtual net party there one day
(complete with virtual pizza (hold the carp)) :)
So now when someone makes a comment that they know is borderline or
outlandish they will do a virtual duck and cover for Gurth's stairs.
