Summary
Last time we gathered, we were just getting into the 1999 sci-fi classic "The Matrix." It's about time to meet Morpheus. It's also about time to find out just what the heck "The Matrix" is and why Neo is such a threat to the continued peaceful existence of the A.I. that has all humanity enslaved in a giant VR machine.
But I might be getting ahead of myself. We need to free Neo from his goo-pod before we can get to the business of saving the world. This week, we free Neo, get Neo healthy and introduce Neo to the ultimate version of "World of Warcraft"...the virtual reality game we're all playing, whether we want to or not, called The Matrix.
Saddle up, Refiners, and get ready to find out what's really going on as we continue to breakdown that classic 1999 sci-fi: 'The Matrix.'

| 1:13.6 | 1866 and stretched over two stages for 25 years. It is the largest sandstone structure |
| 1:21.6 | in Australia and a stunning example of the Victorian-Italian-Italian Renaissance style of architecture. At the time of the |
| 1:29.0 | Matrix, the GPO was being renovated as a hotel in preparation for the 2000 Olympics. At the time, |
