You are on the wall of my cave, man.

The adult version: What do girls call a mushroom with a 12-inch stem? Same punchline.

If you think that's spooky, try this: Take the definite integral of Sin(x^sin(x)) between .4 and Pi. Then subtract the possibly correct number of hydr...

Shit. I was thinking the same thing. In first person singular, not of you.

What do you mean, "not legit"? It's proof that it's legit. If it were any other way, it would be fake.

I also have a picture that I call the pictorial form of my alter-ego. I can't post pictures here, though, as much as I would like the world to see.
