Please, if you use something I made, be it music or sound, please just credit somewhere. It was free to begin with, attribution costs nothing but a few words. That's all I ask. Me, and many other creators.

Heathrow airport has special corridors reserved for passengers with antlers, which seems very thoughtful of them but also oddly specific.

Sign reading: “→
