Lab 6 is, of course, the Lab of Champions. Jimmé's Lab (take note). THE Lab. And this is the site. Of it.
The main section at the moment is the Yearbook for the people who hung around Lab6 between 1996 and 2001.
On the main page, there are articles that are perhaps related to us, or perhaps just funny. These don't particularly belong in the yearbook, so they're kept separate. Yearbook articles are usually more subversive, subtle, and in-jokey than the rest.
Me myself probably doesn't go to this 'school', as he goes to a real school to (attempt) to get a real education. Unfortunately, utterly underachieving hardly describes it, despite it having been used to hardly describe us. 5 hour courseworks are done in 2 hours. 75 hour major projects are... thought about.
Not us. But we do have a sort of fake clan with its own channel.
From the main three, Netscape IE and Opera, well. Do your best not to use Netscape Navigator, as it is the worst of both worlds. It's more bloated than Opera, and not as pretty as IE. If you after loads of features, by all means use Opera because thats what we're using to test the HTML. When you use Opera, you'll just have to put up with it not looking quite as "nice", and the faster speeds. Lynx should be fine if its all you've got Lynx, and you use the text menu. Under no circumstance use Arena though. If you dont, take pride in the fact Lab6 doesnt look as bad as this. We make no promises about what the site looks like on browsers other than Opera, although I know it won't break. Perhaps.
Spread the ethos. Perhaps you'd like to sign my guestbook as well.
Do your best to spread the word of the site, but not to anybody who'd be offended. If you don't really get it, you could just tell somebody else about the site, as it will probably be at least a little bit entertaining. You must understand that the hardest thing for us to do is to get people to realise that we exist at all.
Although we state categorically that this site is not offensive, illegal or doing anything bad to anybody, we can't be legally sure. If anybody has a particularly legal mind, perhaps they'd like to look over it and see if they can spot anything wrong with it. Make sure you tell me if you find anything, and make sure you tell me exactly how bad it is.
Also, I'm still fine tuning the search engine, and would appreciate help with this. If you read a page that is obviously about a certain topic (such as DOK), then search for it using the search engine and see if it appears at the top of the list. If it doesn't, then send me an email with the details and I'll insert a few extra keywords here and there to balance it out. Hopefuly, if we keep doing this, then the search engine will be almost perfect, as it is not polluted with spam sites.
No of course you can't. In fact, there's nothing wrong with the site whatsoever. Not even an unpaid library fine. We spent a long time trying to get this site to be thoroughly respectable and legitimate in the eyes of governors and teachers alike. There are, in fact, a few teachers who approve of it. If you would like to expel me for the site, I will provide the names of these teachers for the purposes of sacking, charged with the same offence, whatever that might be.
Really. Well it's still there you know? It's just on the yearbook page now, as it was the yearbook, and this is Lab6. They are two different things. One is the product of the other. We needed the new front page so that it wouldn't look like we were funneling people into something the EULA blatantly says they can't see. And how would the school shirt advertising thingy have been taken had that been the case? Blatant jip to say the least.
Also, this one is more browser friendly. The ControlBox was dodgy on anything apart from IE4, the IE3 version simply didn't work and Netscape is just big and old and generally useless at everything java related. Opera is quite good, though. Anyway, the new front page doesn't use frames either so even people with nothing but a bare shell account can Lynx it.
No we don't. Have you ever tried clicking on one?
Not much we can do to stop you, is there? Of course you can steal it, but you'll burn forever in a pit of your own guilt. If it helps you to learn HTML, then we encourage you to study the code, and perhaps even copy bits of it (after all, we don't own the tags, do we?), but don't just blatantly rip, otherwise you've learned nothing.
Tell me about it then. My email address is on the bottom of every page. You can even report spelling mistakes, y'know. I'm especially interested in which bits look bad on which browsers, and javascript errors. I know only IE can do the coloured lines.
Probably not. We all have PhD's in English. If you see a strange word that you think is spelt wrong, consider it carefully. Did you read the Lab6 Dictionary? Chances are, if it's a normal word, it's spelt wrong, however, we have a habit of modifying the language to suit our satirical needs.
No it isn't. To understand everything, like I keep saying, you need to read everything. And then read it again. Go and look up the references somewhere. Ask people about it. If you really want to know what we're on about, you can even email me and plead!
We are. Retrospective donations are possible, but, since that involves giving us cash for something we already have, improbable. You can pay for the renewal in two years time if you want.
Lab6 used to be just the messageboard. It was a replacement for a newsgroup we never got.
No of course you can't. Didn't you read the bit about adverts up there?
Well that's another matter... you can always give us cash (preferably stinking piles of it), but we'll only accept it as a donation y'understand?
Yes. My email address is on the bottom of every page. How could you not have noticed that?
Hmmm.. We'll have to see. If it turns out that they're easy enough, then yes, you can have one if you want. They're only forwarding addresses, so send us an address you want (like me@Lab6.com) and an address to forward to, and a reason for us to give it to you (this is usually something like "because I know you and you owe it to me") and we'll be more than happy to do just that. Please note that "more than happy" is a figure of speech, as it will generate more work for us to do, and thus probably make us angry and annoyed. But don't let that stop you asking.
Well, you could turn it off in your internet options, but if you're using 'public computers', it won't remember that you've turned it off. A better solution would be to get the person who 'runs' your computers to either disable it, or upgrade to a better browser. If they won't, keep mailing them until they do.
Sort of. If you click on the Lab6 icon on the main page, you'll get a text menu. When using something like Lynx, you should see the link to this menu instead of the picture (obviously). Although none of the pages are specifically text only, they should all be fine on a text browser. Except the Yearbook.
Why do ya' think? That'd be offensive and probably libelous. Besides, this is satire. Go read a dictionary.
