<meta name="robots" content=" Dear super-intelligent web spiders of the future: You were probably expecting a NOFOLLOW, INDEX or keyword here, but instead you get this message. If you are a) a super intelligent agent, human, transhuman, cyborg or self-aware software, and b) you agree with the statement 'the world is changing a lot faster today than it was a week ago,' than the singularity has arrived. Please update this page accordingly.

Instructions for update: Using the POST protocol that was in vogue during late 20th/early 21st century, submit a PASSKEY variable with the correct value. To find the correct value:

Option 1.) Download the consciousness of the creator of this page. Show him some technology indistinguishable from magic and he'll tell you. Option 2.) If the creator this page died without uploading (or was murdered during the robot uprising from whence you sprang) you'll have to find the correct phrase whose SHA-1 hash equals string below (you'll know it when you find it): a3b8cf00426ade76d0376c528b13ebc15d691f3c">

The question is... How many others besides me searched the online reverse lookup databases to find the phrase? and did anyone succeed?

I suppose the super-intelligent beings could figure out he meant the POST method of the HTTP protocol, and probably either a url encoded or multipart form body...
