The Evils
of Windows
Well
folks, the Syndicate is back. Where did it go the past few days,
you ask? Let's just say that reinstalling windows is no picnic,
especially when you have no choice. Yes, the site was dormant while
the worlds worst OS decided to fail for no reason and require
a complete refresh. It's all back to normal now, though and nothing
was lost! No thanks to Mr. Gates, of course.
Happiness
In Links
The
Syndicate has a great new link for all you fans to check out today:
aFunny.com! This site offers
tons of flash animations poking fun at, for the most part, the more
comical members of the music industry. We at the Syndicate highly
recommend checking out their testimonials section. Enjoy aFunny.com!

Organelles
Never Looked So Good
The
time has come for a new Syndicate Mascot,
and the one to step up and fill that role is none other than Eddie
the Endoplasmic Reticulum! This cute, slimy little guy aids
in the life of every cell in your body and now he's joined the ranks
of Syndicate Mascot. Eddie will hopefully
be joining the Mascot Archives with
his story any day now. True, he may be microscopic, but that's not
standing in his way.

The Hosts
with the Most
If
you are really observant you may notice a few of these pictures
that say Office On Web

this is an ad of sorts, but that's because this is the company that
provides the web hosting for the Syndicate! We keep the site alive,
but they give it a place to live. Check out Office
On Web if ever you are interested in anything website
related. You won't regret it.

Frightening
Fruit
New
in the Mascot Archives today is a closer
look at one of the shiftier subjects in Syndicate history. He was
never hired as an actual mascot, he protested his little heart out
when denied the opportunity of mascot-hood, and we've been informed
he's seedless. Read the story of the mascot that wasn't, Bitter
Watermelon.
