Ultimate spoiler: you are God. Sound familiar?

Anyone recall seeing a Web page that said something like "Ultimate Spoiler: You are God"?
I have a vague yet nagging recollection of a page, either one-off gag or part of a spoiler aggregate site, that professed the ultimate spoiler for life, i.e. you are god. My extended and thorough searching hasn't produced any leads. Sound familiar to anybody?

Reminds me of "Stranger in a Strange Land" - "Thou Art God" was a recurring theme.

The origin of the idea is most likely the Chandogya Upaniśad: तत्त्वमसि, or "Thou art That" (where "That" = "Brahman"), is a central theme in Advaita Vedānta.

That really is the ultimate spoiler, but I don't know where you got it.

Response by poster: Thanks, everyone. Maybe that spoiler page is just a figment of my imagination.
