Description
While I've got you here, I was wondering if you could track something down for me. I'm sure you're familiar with a Blingtron, yes? Well, I started askin' around, and it seems no one really knows where the design for it came from. One rumor does pop up more than others, though: Area 52. Interested in a field trip?
