One of the other videos on his channel is literally “256 colors is enough for anyone”, which is one of the commandments of TempleOS, so your flashbacks are well-informed ;-)

My memory may not be what it was, but I believe King Terry dictated 16 colors for the temple. 256 is 4-bits too many! You could do quality porn w/ 256, and that would be ungodly!

Seems that this Bisqwit also has a touch of the divine intellect. We must do a better job of protecting him!
