On April 1, 2003, in Sturgis, Michigan, seven people aged 17 to 20 placed signs all over town that read: "All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive make your time." They claimed to be playing an April Fool's joke, but most people who saw the signs were unfamiliar with the phrase. Many residents were upset that the signs appeared while the U.S. was at war with Iraq and police chief Eugene Alli said the signs could be "a borderline terrorist threat, depending on what someone interprets it to mean".[7]

Can't wait for the 18th anniversary of Boomers getting confused by maymays. :rejoice

For about 10 years I was sure this was some Gundam Wing thing because I thought Zero Wing was some kind of Gundam Wing game.
