Here we have CP from March 1. 2000:

Where's the beef Lounge? And no Bob, but a wire frame Death Star.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

The 2005 version looks very alike... Maybe Bob was on that 'Death Star'...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

And then he parked it in orbit around Saturn?[^]

If I can believe this archive, the Death Star appeared up to June 2001 and was replaced by Bob from July 2001 on.

Right... I misread the dates... It happened on Canada Day of 2001 (1st of July) or somewhere after it, but before the 8th of July 2001...

Did you check out the hardware it was running on?

386Mb of RAM! Wow! (There's 5 times that on my graphics card  )

My first PC (i.e. the first computer I personally owned) was an Amstrad 1640: 640K of RAM! 2 off 360K floppies! EGA graphics! 8Mhz 8086 processor! USB slots: None!

Mine is one of these.[^] I'm have been working on a new modernized version recently. It could have up to nine processors and up to 16 mb RAM/ROM.

So that's what a Bob egg looks like!
Well, we've answered the question of which came first between Bob and the egg, but...
... Which came first, the CP or the egg?

Damm... you beat me to it 
I should have typed three letters less

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If it were for the QA... Bob would have already started to drink... and in a massive way

Ah, I remember my 17th birthday...
... But that's only because I wasn't drinking. I don't remember many since then, so, by that reckoning, I'm in my mid twenties.

I don't remember my 17th ... A friend of mine was banned from his local pub (of two years) for celebrating his 18th birthday in there.

I had a similar experience - 18th birthday in a pub I'd been going to since I was around 15. Funnily it was the one place where at the time they said you couldn't drink under age
The night got progressively worse and we ended up in a Biker pub; safe but a lot of vodka was hampering all cognitive functions. At kicking out time, we staggered off in directions of various homes. I was woken, around 4am, by two pc's because I wasn't allowed to sleep on the pavement in case I fell off. I staggered into the house just as my dad was getting up. He laughed, gave me a beer and suggested I might want to have a sleep for the rest of day.

How many is that in hamster years?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
