Subject: Odd Glitch Found. Strange Text Revealed? Please Explain, Interweb G...

So, I was surfing B.net. People were expressing opinions, other people expressing opinions on said opinions, and other people making comments about the opionee's mom's -blam!- orientation.

You know, the usual.

When out on the Septagon hyperlink there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from keyboard to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the pixels and threw up the hash.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

A bunch of text above Just Another Fan's name.

(I couldn't get the last part to rhyme right.)

But yes, something odd happened, which can be seen here: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/4553/ooddrs6.png

For some reason, the bottom of my page started flashing over the Septagon link when I went to it.

But that's not the real thing that bothers me. What the hell is the text above the Fan's name, eh? There are, of course, several very plausible theories on the subject, regarding secret Illuminati plots and world domination; but I wouldn't dare to to take up your time with such well known doctrines. What I need are some (highly unlikely) reasons for the text that may provide a more (ridiculous) explanation, such as glitch related phenomena (preposterous as it may sound).

Amaze me.

That's just the Copyright text at the bottom left.

Question though, does such flashing happen all the time, anywhere else other than B.net.

Ahumm, I have no idea. What exactly did the text say? Perhaps some text from the post "jumped" to a part above my name?

I'll just keep on Secret powers I possess, till someone comes with a good explanation.

Yeah, judging by the way the nav-bar jumped, that seems to be the plausible spot where the copyright text would land. Pay up JAF, I didn't lie for free.

Still, when I had layers overlap like that, everything was scattered. And besides, the text clearly says "ts reserved" from "Rights Reserved." I'm making a side-by-side right now.

I've been getting that glitch as well. Guess we'll have to wait for Achronos to fix it :-/

That, or JaF really does have secret powers........

The mere fact that the anomaly appeared over Just Another Fan's name bears no significance on the glicth; it could have been anywhere. It is probably just a brower related page rendering glitch that may have occured while scrolling down. Then again, what would I know. Although plausible, that's just my ridiculous explanation.

A bunch of text above Just Another Fan's name.

Text above JAF's name which struck me with fear?

You can do anything as long as you have "Imagination".

Nice work Sherlock. Can I call you Sherlock?

Personally, I think there are far reaching (Illuminati) connections raised with this new information, and your post is bogus. However I thank you for presenting a plausible answer to the problem (however unlikely).

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I guess that's our explanation, but what exactly are you talking about. I even took it into Paint, inverted the colors and zoomed in. There's nothing directly above his name.

Is everyone but me crazy?

It was probably something that the print screen button couldn't capture.
It was probably the soul. He's probably woken up and is looking for Achronos to feed him.

While some people without the knowledge of the conspiracy might say it's just the bottom half of "hts reserved", I will now show you the tru7h. You can't dispute me, because I highlighted the text in read and red means official stuff.
