I am MAN-Man, hear me swear copiously! The superhero with the powers of a MAN! Today I applied my archaeological skills and knowledge of dead languages to this piece of runic text, apparently from before capitals, punctuation, paragraphs or spaces were invented, applied the arcane knowledge thereby extracted to the washing machine, swore copiously and drained the excess muck out of the pump. Then ran a drain-cleaner wash at 95°C for an hour and a half and am currently washing the towels I used to clean up the floor afterwards. sinibar's words apply, though I'm a little perturbed to see a washing machine with a frame that can rust.
