My Google-fu isn’t turning up anything to corroborate this.

But yeah, everybody on this planet can thank Petrov for our not having had an all-out nuclear war in 1983. (As us peaceniks used to say, one nuclear war can ruin your whole day. :)) In the past few years, he’s finally gotten a bit of recognition for that.

It’s been picked up by a German [news ticker](https://www.heise.de/tp/news/Stanislaw-Jewgrafowitsch-Petrow-1939-2017-3827402.html). They call it “inofficial”, but credible enough to pass on.

I’d never heard that story before. Holy shit!

I found it a long time ago (like 15 years or more long time ago) on a website that had a listing (and link) to the best 404 URL not found pages out there at the time. I don’t recall what either of the websites were now, but I do remember the one that had the 404 had an image of a raven on the right side and the poem on the left. Googling hasn’t turned up anything but reddit and bash posts and knockoffs that arose from a later date, so I’m guessing that this website was the original to use this.

ETA: And I’ve had this signature for most of my time as a member here. It’s just showing up again because with the new board software, signatures are now on by default. And I’m too lazy/too forgetful to uncheck the box.

Our IT people at work get really pissed if you try to install anything that wasn’t their idea, so that’s out.

Fortunately, now there’s that nice little drop-down in the lower left that allows us to go back to the Dope as it was before they started messing with it, which fixes
