it's all presentation. He presented it like a sociological study rather than a joke. which would presume we have to believe the story, but he has too many details in the wrong places and not enough details about important things. So it didn't seem like a joke.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Zip code java map! After it loads, click in the picture and then type in a zip code one number at a time, slowly.

Not sure how to reset it to check more zip codes without reloading the whole page...
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Hey, Ookla doesn't have a class!  Guess you registered way back before we instituted the level progression system.  You should pick one, so you can have a title.
