    Who comes up with this retarded stuff to make everyone else feel dumb? Some jerk who could better spend his time inventing something useful is instead writing this crap.

By heather on Friday, August 5, 2005 - 03:24 pm:

    thanks, adam, good catch.
    you must be in mensa.


By Nate on Friday, August 5, 2005 - 05:21 pm:

    i bet he's in mansa.

    a subtle, yet deeply thrusting, difference.


By heather on Friday, August 5, 2005 - 06:02 pm:

    you should re-admit your application nate, we wouldn't want you turning bitter


By agatha on Friday, August 5, 2005 - 09:36 pm:

    I think I just failed that test. Either that, or I lost interest, which is basically the same thing.


By heather on Saturday, August 6, 2005 - 12:03 am:

    is it clear that i meant the application to mansa, not mensa?
