Unfortunately that was just a very good mock-up.

Tribble's design of the contentlister contravenes the 11th commandment:
Quote:
"Thou shalt not have more than 6 items in the contentlister"
When Moses originally received the iliad tablet on the mountain it had all 11 commandments, but on his way down he tripped and dropped it. This caused damage to the screen and lineouts that obliterated the 11th commandment. Worse still he didn't get the iliad from the original supplier but instead he haggled for it on heavenBay, and it was no longer under warranty. When he saw the price of getting someone to look at it, let alone replace the screen, he decided that the first 10 commandments were pretty useful and that the 11th was a bit odd anyway so he didn't tell anyone about it. And thus the 11th commandment was lost and few people know that there can only ever be 6 items in the contentlister.
