I'm the OP for post [0], and I feel the need to explain myself: I made that fold-in 2 days ago just for fun, but then it became a timely joke. So, I scrambled very quickly to throw it into an HTML page with basic CSS so I could post to HN.

Oh man so cool.

Loved that magazine. Always looked forward to a new copy of Mad mag every couple of weeks during my high school years.

I remember I would get to school early just so I could get my hands on it and read it.

I'm ... not even Mad.
