A full 17 mins passed before the GNU bitching starts. Impressive.
Misplaced nostaligia?

We wanted to see who spotted that first. Answer: you - good work! :)
It was languishing on our archive DVDs, so we figured it was time to set it free to the world.

...such as:
1. A small lump of cheese found under Mike's desk
2. Hudzilla's biro

For some awkward reason I thought the guy waving the flag was Bill Gates...

The guy in the original doesn't look like Lincoln, but the guy in the Linus version really does. The beard and hat really make it look like Lincoln; the kid looks almost the same though.
