Cheers, Jake. But if you start telling everybody that I'm actually a goofball, I'll cut you.

87 and 89: Yes!! I'm glad you make the distinction between clean and tidy... I'm also a 'clean' person, obsessively so (I'm obsessive about health too). But I simply don't have TIME for tidy. Tidy can go do one. As for spiders, I really love spiders and I wish people wouldn't be so afraid of them. They're confined to their two dimensional wall crawling. Flies on the other hand can exploit the third dimension and cause MAXIMUM DAMAGE.

Btw, your tribute to Six is amazing... you're so articulate. I always knew you were a good writer, but dang. I wish you both the best!

Yeah, I respect spiders more because they eat those flying bastards.

And thanks, Ben.

I'll take a large helping. reckless_rex October 9 2006, 17:37:27 UTC

Yeah, that was one of the ones I had in mind. Though I'd settle for a Tiebout world.

Others include radical skepticism, the contention that much of what people attribute to skill is just luck, the feasibility and desirabiltiy of radical life extension, strategic alliances with China and Iran, the beneficence of sweat shops, and sanguinity (with caveats) about nuclear proliferation.
