- Messier 106 (Wikipedia)
Messier 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. M106 is at a distance of about 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth. M106 contains an active nucleus classified as a Type 2 Seyfert, and the presence of a central supermassive black hole has been demonstrated from radio-wavelength observations of the rotation of a disk of molecular gas orbiting within the inner light-year around the black hole. NGC 4217 is a possible companion galaxy of Messier 106. Besides the two visible arms, it has two “anomalous arms” detectable using an X-ray telescope.
- TechnoViking 100% OFFICIAL Song (youtube.com)
FINALLY! The official version of the song that is played on the TechnoViking video. Some said it was Panderator…Some said it was Can-D-Music. WELL! I played around with the songs a bit, and made quite possibly the biggest human discovery since steamed toast. It is actually Navigator by Can-D-Music, but the DJs in the original TechnoViking video had it sped up either on purpose, or on accident. This uses a 96.5:100 compression ratio. Speed up to 1:30 and you’ll recognize the song instantly. Enjoy all of you TV fans!

- The original Technoviking video (youtube.com)
This is the internet’s final boss.
- There is a fake (and poorly written parody) interview that claimes the Technoviking was a lumberjack-turned-biologist and was high on speed during the event. Unfortunately these claims are often repeated.
