Good luck Alez. Don't envy you that one.
One of my pals should have got back from Angola today, think I'll be avoiding him for a week just to make sure

I was actually going to give this a shot but all my cores are tied up trying to finish all the SIMAP WUs before they expire.

From the BOINCStats challenge page...
Twenty-fifth edition of the serie of challenges between teams [Twenty Four] issued by the french team "BRIGADE DU COSMOS". [Twenty Four] serie of challenges aims to celebrate an important day of the year. 24 hours of intense crunch tribute to this day ! For this [TWENTY FOUR 025], we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Philip Kindred Dick, one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. This prodigy of literature wrote 44 novels and 121 short stories ! Considerable work and a unique contribution to science fiction. Many of his novels have been adapted to the cinema. He died on March 2, 1982. Requiescat in pace, Philip.

Surely they had a head start to get a great pun in there!

Well I'm just glad it didn't involve the smashing of male parts.
