It appears to have been a hoax.
Yes, indeed, that's very funny. 10/10 for ingenuity (or is it 0/10 because there could not have been anyone who didn't think of it before).
However my mind is still on
oh no!!!!!!!
he said, sharpie 2 will rise up from the ashes, whereas it was sharpie one that went INTO ashes? So is this like Rybka 4 went i nto ashes, nd that's why it's so bad, but it will rise up from the ashes into Rybka 5?
I have a pretty damn idea who could be behind this dummy joke....a tip:someone who was embarresed lately by the Rybka team....

If you know it's going to completely outplay Rybka and all similar things, and then you go and call it sharpie, which means, "a little bit sharp", then that's a very funny name. (like an understatement).
A "Sharpie" is a long, narrow, flatbottom fishing boat.
The English have a strange sense of humour. Of course there is always later on today for more jokes.

yeah real strange, like financially supporting scotland all these years just so they can waste benefit money on special brew and deep fried mars bars (ahaha). and anyway, the scots world cup qualifying (or lack of) is always good for a laugh i find. but the funnyiest of all was euro 96 and that scottish (missed) penalty that went straight back down to their end and gazzas amazing goal. stick to watching braveheart i say, always good for a bit of make believe eh.
