The main problem with this is the html tags which are used throughout 
the matrix are always being updated and we don't want that info hogging 
valuable space in the kernel. I am looking into a new page format now.

  Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke 
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets 
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. 
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before 
the arrival of U.S. troops.
